Sometimes I find that in a time of crisis the credit I extend to those that are around me can run out. Like when you're moving...
I personally am shocked at how tight this flexibility of mine really can be.
To extend the metaphor just a squinch: This is a great way to find out for myself what situations to avoid, and where the trade imbalance is becoming unsustainable.
To put it another way: for a straw to break a camel's back there has to be a lot up there already.
Hang in there.
