Or you can get a job that pays a regular salary. I could go get a PT job at Kroger nights and weekends bagging groceries and make an extra $1000 a month. That would pay my mortgage. I could make even more at a different job.
I guess you missed the post where I indicated no one wants to hire a 57 year old white male. No one even gives me an interview. I do have a part time job. I make about $1500 a month from it. That’s about a $1,000 short of my mortgage payments.
I also posted earlier that I am not looking for sympathy or advice. This exchange is getting way too deep in details. I am simply pointing out that people can find themselves in difficult situations, and getting out of them is not always just a matter of using positive affirmations or buying a self help book.
I might add that governmental policies that favor those who don’t bother to try don’t help much either.
