This week, a reader who moved to a new country feels they aren’t achieving their financial dreams.
Our columnist reminds them of all they’ve achieved and suggests creating a concrete plan for the future.

More Hot Update : I'm the primary caregiver to my 87-year-old mom. It's the least I can do after all the years she watched out for me.

I know it’s hard, and I understand we all have moments of weariness, but don’t give up on your dreams now. You are doing an incredible job. If you take anything I am telling you to heart, please let it be this: Your story is inspiring. You’ve come so far so quickly, and I can’t wait to see how high you climb.

More Hot Update : My husband and I have lived in a van and traveled around the world for 7 years. We work on the road and have no plans to retire.

Rooting for you,
