That $200 co-working membership I bought in Medellin was a total waste

I fell for the hype about this fancy co-working spot in El Poblado last month. Paid upfront for a month because they said it was always packed with remote workers networking. Turns out the internet went down every afternoon around 2 PM and the AC barely worked in the heat. I lost $200 and ended up working from a cafe down the street that cost me $3 for coffee all day. Has anyone else dumped money on a 'digital nomad hotspot' that wasn't worth it?

Is it really that serious or just a bad day that got blown out of proportion?

Yes, this is spot on @derekjenkins. I had a week where I spilled coffee on my keyboard and then my car wouldn't start, and suddenly I was ready to quit my whole life. Sometimes one little thing can set off a chain reaction of frustration that makes everything seem way worse than it actually is. Most of the time it's just a bad day that needs a good night's sleep to fix.

Man, I've been there too and it's honestly the WORST when everything piles up at once like that.
