A while ago, I decided to work towards certain financial goals in order to have a buffer for bad times. Through some friends and acquaintances, I’ve seen very clearly how difficult it is to get back on your feet from a financially challenging situation. Being poor is incredibly expensive. Here, the relative impact on the basis for existence is particularly visible. If I overlook a bill and have to pay a 5€ reminder fee, I don’t even notice it in my daily life… not even a Starbucks coffee… In a difficult financial situation, this can mean a day without food.
