I was confused for a whole two months whether to upgrade or not.
I was crying because the card from India was not being accepted.
My father gave me his card without asking anything. He said, "You never asked for anything. I don't know what you are doing, but I know you will put in the work, whatever it takes."
I went through all the free course and realized how valuable it is. $50 is a big amount for us South Asians. It's like one-sixth of our monthly income.
Now I know it's actually serious because I have put in money to save my time. Now it's my responsibility, solely, to do whatever it takes. End of the blame game because I got what I needed.
