My husband used to work as a salesman, but six months ago, he caused a traffic accident while on a business visit, leading to his resignation and hospitalization. The accident was clearly his fault, resulting in massive compensation payments to the victim and ongoing financial troubles. I have two children—one in high school and one in college—so expenses for living costs, education, and our home loan keep piling up every day. On top of working part-time at a bookstore in a station tenant space, I've been forced to take on night work to increase my income. But now I keep wondering where things went wrong, questioning my past decisions as time relentlessly moves forward. I'm getting older, and my money keeps shrinking. No matter how much I break my heart over it, nothing can be fixed anymore. Starting today, I just have to find a way to push through and survive.
