(warwgn @ Jun. 25 2007,10:22) Hey Ben, let's have a race to see who gets back on their feet first
We are nearly in the same boat, I barley have a job and dont know how long it's gonna last and I am grosly underpaid anyway. I live 50 miles from town so gas is a bitch If I get another job. I just barley escaped getting my truck repoed, had to borrow money from family and take out a payday loan
. Tried to get a lon from my 401 k, but had to pay off the current loan first before I can get a new one (missed a truck paymet to do that) and it still hasent cleared yet so I cant request the new loan yet.
I havent paid on my storage in 3 months, so had to call and tell them to come get it this week. So now my ATV in an shabby shack next to the house (no insurance on it, hope it dont get stole) My dirt bike is under a tarp in the chicken coop (dont worry all the chickens are dead, so no poop on it. not that is runs anyway). My wifes atv will be on the front porch covered up (if it dont get repoed first, I am behind 3 payments on it too). I owe the hospital for medical bills, the dentist for bills, and havent paid a credit card bill in forever
. We get 20 calls a day from collectors and are just livivng outside our means.
But on the up side, I got to re do the loan on my ATV and got to skip 2 payments and dont owe untill july 15th. The storage will be gone now so once I get that balance payed off it puts $115 a month back in my pocket. One of my CC companies is gonna settle for $500, and when I can finally get my 401K loan it will get me closer to the surface
We arent hungry, we have a house, the baby is happy so it's not too bad.
Now what you say about that race?? MIght as well have some fun in our misery!!
