I’ve got a different job now, but I was using my Swiss Army knife in the lab just yesterday.
My sign was going to be a list of major life changes since zero became present, but eh list was too long.
Lost job of 18 years
6 months unemployed-lived like paupers
Got new job 5 states away from home
Haven’t sold house yet
Living apart from wife and kids for 5 months
Had to move 5 times in 5 months
Paying for two residences
Managed to make every payment and maintain my 760+ credit rating, which means on Obama’s world, I’m a bad American and ned to pay for all the losers who bought too much house and are in danger of losing it.
I called my mortgage holder to see if they could adjust my principle so I could sweeten the price on my house for sale. I was told that unless my mortgage was more than 31% of my income, I was not eligible. This so called professional loan officer actually called it Obama’s Plan. I told her not to use that kind of language around me. She said why and I said because he’s a jerk.
I’m expecting an offer on the house today at 4pm though.
My friend, I will keep you in my prayers. We’re feeling the pain as well, but I won’t go into detail.
You are not alone.
Wow. That’s some list.
I hope the offer on your house is a good one.
Best of luck with your house later today.
Here’s hoping it’s a good offer. Time for karma for those of us who ‘did the right thing’
Good luck on selling your house. And bless you and yours for standing solid during your difficulties, I hope things improve for you very soon.
I hope the offer works out for you.
