Not being able to make enough money. As I lived in extreme poverty in my childhood (and all that changed thanks to online MOOCs). I now work as remote SE and I have around $10k in savings. I am graduating with robotics and AI masters degree. But I always fear that I will lose all my money and be poor again. I literally prefer dying than being poor again. The worst days of my life, I couldn't have a proper childhood because of that, it's the thing that I fear the most in this life and haunts me everyday.

- sjg007 9y agoTrue but you survived it. You adapted and made something out of it. Don't forget that strength. No one can take that a way from you.
- stephen82 9y agoI am in the same situation as you, but without the savings plus I'm unemployed for 2 years now. But why would you say such thing? You had nothing as a child and used that as your strong motive, you have managed to save some money and if God forbid you lose your savings, do you think you won't be able to make them again? I doubt it! You sound like a strong person, so don't be afraid of anything. Everything and I mean it, everything happens for a reason.

- ddorian43 9y agoHave you tried helping a little other poor children ? Maybe their happiness will bring some to you too ? (like parents who live their life through their children) Do you exercise ? Smoke?
