I am lost
I’m (M30) looking for some advice because I honestly feel stuck.
I made hijrah around 2.5 years ago alhamdulillah, and professionally things are actually going well. I have a comfortable job and stable income. But at the same time, I made a major investment that now requires me to pay huge amounts every month.
The problem is that I’m basically trapped into continuing for at least another 2 years, otherwise I lose everything I already invested.
Earlier this month I turned 30, and lately I’ve been feeling like I’m falling behind in life. Financially, on paper I’m doing okay, but because of this commitment I don’t feel able to get married. I’m afraid of not being able to properly provide for a wife or future family while carrying this burden.
Part of me thinks I should just accept a big loss, move on, and regain freedom. Another part of me says I should be patient and finish what I started.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you deal with the feeling that one financial decision put your entire life “on hold”?
