Sorry I have not posted in a while. I am going through another down phase. I really don't like feeling this way, but sometimes it just can't be helped. All the rain we had I am sure didn't help. The weather has finally cleared up. It felt like we need to build an ark or something.
I found a note on my car saying I can't park it here all day and night, if I don't move it, I will get towed. The worst thing that can happen. I honestly don't know what I am going to do. It won't start. I have no problem getting it towed, my triple a membership will cover that. I just don't have enough money to get it fixed. I am short about $150. Even that won't really fix it, but it will make it runnable so I can move it. They don't seem to mind if I sleep here, but they need the parking space for during the day. Which is totally understandable. They have been very patient. I am going to get it towed in the morning to the place I want to have it fixed at and see what happens from there. I don't get paid again until a week from Friday.
I really wish now I didn't close my credit card account, but I was scared I would use it and not be able to pay it off. I figured it was worse for my credit to get behind on my payments than it was to not have a credit card. I figure my mortgage payments keep my credit going and once I am working full time again, I will just reapply for another one.
Things just keep getting harder and harder.
If I may ask, what city are you in?
ReplyDeleteI am in Virginia outside of DC.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote "I figure my mortgage payments keep my credit going..." and by writing this I am confused as to your actual situation.
ReplyDeleteI own an apartment that I am currently renting out. I can't sell it because I will lose money and not be able to pay off the note to the bank. So I decided to rent it out a while back and I rented a room in a private home, but when my income dropped I could no longer afford the rent on top of my other expenses.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to sell in January. The market here was improving, but I believe that is no longer the case.
Wow... and I thought I had it bad. I've been unemployed for 2 years now and even with a degree I can't even get a minimum wage job. We haven't lost our house yet but we pretty much have sold everything of value to keep afloat. Crazy times for sure. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your current situtation. I know exactly what you mean. I sold pretty much everything of value myself. I have very little left now.
ReplyDeleteWe have to believe that things will get better. That is really all we can do now.
I hope you find a job soon.
