He has done very well on the tests and is a generally well-loved person. But interviews are often largely dependent on interviewers, which are an unknown. He will eventually do very well at this. He is remarkably calm in emergencies, which was noticed quickly in the Reserves. But we live in the now, and he is 26.

This has produced understandable frustration, coupled with a desire to immediately improve our financial situation. <br /><br />What I have tried to convey, in comfort, is that the finance costs that worry her are the very thing that allows us to convert these from short-term problems (which might be crushing) into long-term problems (which we are well placed to solve). Learning to live with problems in the longer term is difficult, and capitalism is eager to sell you short-term solutions: the shorter the term, the more ruinous.
