Yeah - it's a tough dynamic. My grandfather has a "great depression baby" mindset. A term used here in the U.S. for people born during the Great Depression. So he always thinks he's pennies away from being on the street, meanwhile at this point in his life he couldn't outlive his money.

It was a mindset I had to shake as an adult, but yes when you have other mouths to feed it can be stressful, but you have to just make smart decisions and feel comfort that the odds are leaned in your favor when you do.

We can only control what we can control. The rest just is.
