The combined worth of the home I reside in, along with two parcels of land—one received from my parents and the other purchased by me—plus my savings amount to VND10 billion (US$384,948). Despite this significant sum, concerns about what lies ahead continue to trouble me.
I\’m 36 years old, having been divorced for seven years now, and my current monthly income is VND20 million. I have a nine-year-old son who stays with me, and his father contributes VND2.5 million each month as child support.
I reside with my parents in a home constructed on a piece of inherited land they\’ve transferred to both me and my child; however, this property isn’t for sale and holds a value close to VND5 billion. Furthermore, my parents gifted me another parcel of land estimated at VND2 billion. In addition, I successfully purchased a plot of land worth VND1.5 billion and currently hold VND1.5 billion in savings.
Nonetheless, my work environment is extremely stressful, and I might lose my job within the coming years. Considering my age, securing another position to sustain myself could be quite difficult. This prospect consistently fills me with anxiety regarding what lies ahead for us.
How would you handle things if you were in my position?
