I think you have to go in... When everything feels overwhelming, I think you have to go in a particular order and go slower than you think. Here's what I mean. In your guts, you want vengeance. You want to find out who hurt you, who weaponized what you thought was a new friendship, especially on the back end of a divorce when things are tough.

Somebody weaponized what I think is the most sacred thing, and that's a relationship. And... And then inside that relationship, somebody asked you for help, and you're the kind of guy that helps. And that hurts, man. I feel like I was financially raped. Fair enough. And so you want to go get all that money back. Your car transmission doesn't care about that.

And so while this, I want to get it back, I want to find the guy, I'm calling all the people. That's front and center in your guts. You feel that really heavy when we're hurt like this and it feels overwhelming. It's important to feel that feeling and then go do the next right thing. And in your case, we just got to start again financially. And it sounds caustic, but there's not another option.

And so here's the good news. You have $150,000. Yes. You didn't wipe it out. So we're going to start building it back. We're going to get an emergency fund built up. So we're our own bank. And so when our car goes, we're going to be a couple of years away from getting the big, nice truck we wanted. Cool.

We're going to be able to have money in the account just in case we need to go get a new Camry. Great. Cool. Problem solved. On to the next one. On to the next one. And in the background, we'll do what we can. I don't know. I mean, the chances that you get this money back are very, very, very slim.

No. And so your friend is awesome. He's just like you. He's a guy who shows up and helps, wants to help. And you've tried that before and you put money between you and what you thought was a friend and it went sideways. I would recommend not doing that.

But I would also recommend you double clicking on that friendship because he's the kind of guy that will show up in the middle of the night to help you out. Yes, he is. Pretty cool. And then say, hey, I love you. This is one I got to work through because part of your healing will be in the sweat equity of earning that $3,000.
