The older I get the less I am able to make use of the concept of punishment or even (lasting) guilt. I mean what is even the point of punishing? It just adds more misery on top.

Don’t get me wrong: It is necessary to reflect on the bad things one did. But I do not feel like guilt and shame create an environment that promotes this behaviour.

Thanks, I’ll do my best saving up enough money will be hard for me though…

Nice, thanks for sharing!

How much money did you save up and what monthly costs of living are you expecting? Would love to hear more about your situation!
