I want a career in finance but ironically money is holding me back

Right now, for the first time in years, I know what I want to do with my career. It’s something simple and it was staring me in the face the entire time. The first job I had that I enjoyed was in this sector, and it’s the only job I’ve enjoyed to date I think.

I have a job in finance, but to achieve my career goals I will need to take some paid courses. Ironically finances, or lack of them, is the thing that’s holding me back.

As I write this my car sits in a petrol station, it won’t start and I don’t know why. I’m going to have to fork out money to get it repaired… It’s 2021 all over again.

I can’t catch a break

Honestly, It’s a joke. Every time I think I’m getting somewhere something comes up. First, I got fined for driving in areas I wasn’t supposed to. I’ll take full responsibility for that, I was in places I don’t know so I fucked up. I will say this Oxford, you have to let people drive somewhere.

The problem is that the letters got sent to my old address because I didn’t know that I was supposed to update my V5 logbook when I moved, I only updated my licence. Apparently, debt collectors have been knocking there, and of course, the charges have been getting higher.
