How to reduce financial stress and worries?

Currently having lots of worries and over thinking how will a be able to surpass my current situation. We are currently renovating our house and I have job opportunity to another country but I have to pay for the processing fee. I and my brother were financing our house renovation but he's currently on vacation and since he will get on board by August, I shoulder the labor cost but my income is not enough, i've already cut all other expenses that I can manage. I already tried to apply on the same country before but I withdraw it as I still can't afford but I regret it and I'm having hard time at my work as well; I am mentally draining. What should I do? I can't give up the house construction we've been waiting for that all our life but the job opportunity might only come once, I don't know what to think or do and then stresses follows.

I'm not certain that I completely understand your situation. It sounds complex. Have you talked it out with your brother? Can he find another financial partner for the house renovation? The job opportunity sounds interesting, but would that mean that your relationship with your brother would suffer? I always try to put PEOPLE before THINGS (including jobs). He is your brother for life and you should not betray his trust if you two have already made a financial agreement. There are always other great jobs. Have you tried praying to God for wisdom and clarity? Can you consult a third party, such as a financial advisor, pastor, trusted friend? Is it possible to finish the house renovation and then pursue another job? Get your priorities straight and then things will become clearer. I wish you the best.
