I searched for work in several companies around Guadalajara, but all offered much lower salaries. Some didn’t even call me back.
Then I remembered something that comforted me a little.
My money.
For years I had been sending almost all of my salary to my mother.
Between savings, bonuses, and overtime… it had to be nearly five million pesos.
I thought:
“It doesn’t matter. Even if it takes time to find another job, I still have that money.”
So I took a bus to the small town where my mother lived.
