Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no

Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate,no despotism can enslave.

If the Nation is living within its income, its credit is good. If, in some crises, it lives beyond its income for a year or two, it can usually borrow temporarily at reasonable rates.

Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.
