Chapter XVIII - Peregrinator
Life seemingly goes on, despite of being ripped off (real bad) for the ump-teenth time. His plans to provide for a decent future, for his children, had all dissipated into the ether. Simply because, his (pigheaded) wife, doesn't have any (in-depth) perception, to see anything far, beyond the horizon.
The very same feeling of dissapointment, he'd felt a couple of years back, before the pandemic. There was a time, when he'd just returned from overseas, after finishing his 9 months contract. He managed to save, a hefty sum of money, to be invested, in "Foreign Currency Fund", at his wife's insurance firm. He intends to grow the capital, by letting it earn, and gain its compounded interest. His safety buffer, in preparation for old age. For most shipping companies, were reluctant to hire an old-fart like himself. He wanted an additional option, similar to his existing "Mutual Fund", he'd availed, from his wife's previous company (two years ago).
