Even in a situation where I consider very good compared to other folks in my country, Somethings look really hard sometimes... I mean, it's sad when you work hard for so many years and still can't buy a new shiny laptop, a new monitor, a chair a phone. This week my daughter dropped water all over my 2014 MacBook Pro and it fried instantly and I got really mad, not on her, but I started to think how having a messy financial situation have such a huge impact in our lifes. Sometimes looks like I'm wasting my life working my ass off just to pay bill after bill, with no time to enjoy my family... To take a rest... Or even to think about mental health. Sorry for this rant... It was somehow stuck in my chest.

Edit. I know affording a 2014 MacBook Pro here in Brazil is somehow a big deal, but mine was bought 2nd hand with a faulty keyboard. :)
