ReplyDeleteseems like he fell into a sort of snow ball effect. finance takes a hit, high interest rate for home, poor quality of food...let us know if he makes it back up!
ReplyDeleteSeems like while, Kurt accomplished his goals, they ended up backfiring. Sometimes one can be so obsessed with reaching their goal that they did not consider any consequences or subsequent actions.
