I moved to Europe in hopes of a better life. Now I'm here making 67,000 Euros a year — I still feel worthless.

• 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.

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.

Rooting for you,
