What is the thing you worry about the most?

For me, there are two things that are weighing on my mind the most: paying my bills and finishing my degree.
I have always felt that it was wrong to not pay bills on time. However, while I was off work for six weeks right after my daughter was born, I found myself having to ask my family for money to pay my bills. I am lucky enough to have an employer who provide short term disability which paid some money while I was recovering. It just wasn't enough. I am still behind on bills and wonder if I'll ever get back on top of them. If that wasn't enough, I have made some bad choices financially that have put me more in the hole. I wonder if I'll ever have a good credit score again.
Finishing my degree was my goal when I returned to school a little over four and half years ago. I only have six more classes to take to get my Bachelor's degree. However, I've reached the aggregate limit on my federal subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Therefore, I either have to come up with the money to finish my degree or get scholarships. I'm just not sure how this will play out but I would hate to have to give up my goal.
There are many other things that I worry about, but these two worry me the most right now.
