I don't even know how to begin this thread. I am so embarrassed and ashamed that I don't know where to turn. I have been on a Chapter 13 plan for several years now after losing a $52,000 manufacturing job. My payments were going smoothly until January when I was laid off my job and was unable to make payments for about 2 months.
I got a letter today from the attorneys for Bank of America stating that I am in default and they want my house. I knew I was in arrears to the Trustee but I have been unable to find a part-time job to supplement my current Customer Service position.
When I bought this house I promised my kids they would grow up here and it would be a place they could bring their grandchildren. My heart is breaking because it has hit me that our dream may end up in a heap of ashes.
Does anyone know of any part-time money making ventures that work? There really isn't anyone in my family I can turn to for help on this. I know God doesn't give us more than we can handle, but sometimes I wish he didn't trust me so much :o)
My prayers are with you and your family.. I'm sorry I have no financial advice.. wish I did.. much love though..
"Does anyone know of any part-time money making ventures that work?"
Wish I did. I'd like to be self-employed again, so I've been trying to find a full time, home-based business to start myself.
Sorry about your troubles. Hope everything gets better for you. Have you thought about tutoring students or giving lessons (guitar, piano, computer??). Just wondering. I'm giving some guitar lessons, and also in the past I've tutored students who needed a little extra help with their school work.
Maybe those ideas might help.
