Everyone knows the feeling—you find yourself in financial distress and need to secure a job as soon as possible. You browse through dozens of job listings, searching for an opportunity that suits you, but often, you have to take whatever is available because the perfect offer may not come at the right time.
Mortgage payments, bills, invoices, kindergarten fees, food—these expenses require a steady income. And that doesn’t even include hobbies, entertainment, cultural activities, home investments, or vacations. None of these can wait. Unless you’ve inherited wealth, won the lottery, or acquired money through other means, you must work to afford these necessities. This pressure leads to stress, which benefits no one. Many people accept the first available job, only to realize later that it doesn’t suit them. They don’t last long in such positions and either leave or are dismissed.
That’s why having a financial reserve is crucial—it allows you to survive for weeks or even months without a job and choose a position that truly fits your skills and preferences. Students carefully select their fields of study because they believe they will find fulfillment in them. Similarly, everyone should choose a job that aligns with their strengths and interests.
If someone works in a field that doesn’t suit them, they won’t be satisfied, nor will their employer or the state. The takeaway? Don’t accept the first available job just because you need employment. Instead, choose wisely, considering your skills, experience, and personal preferences. If you manage to secure a job that suits you, start building a financial reserve immediately to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

You will gain access to the account, various benefits, and the opportunity to participate in decision-making regarding the direction of our organization. We are currently working on a mechanism to ensure that jointly saved funds cannot be withdrawn without agreement. We will select at least three individuals authorized to manage the account and oversee transactions. Without the unanimous consent of all three account holders, no funds can be withdrawn. Would you like to be one of them?
