I may have to take a break
from DU....and, for that matter, the Internet in general, as I may not be able to afford the subscription. I lost my job in June, 2010. Since than, I was able to land one temp position, in April, 2011, that lasted for 5 weeks.
In late January, I decided the only way I was going to be able to make any money at all was to take an offer of a contracted 1099 commission only sales job. I have made no commissions yet, since each time I get close to closing, something gets in the way to postpone the deal.
My unemployment benefits ended on April 7, with no more extensions available, so I have now been almost 6 weeks with no income at all.
I doubt my mortgage company will like hearing..."Oh, but I'm getting closer to being able to pay you...soon!"
I currently have $30.68 in my checking account, and $72.00 in my wallet.
If my closing does not go through on Friday - and there is a problem at the moment - I don't know how I will pay my June 1 mortgage payment, never mind gas for the car, etc.
If I have to sign off for a while, I will really miss all of you. I will try my damnedest to get back as soon as I can.......
Please keep some good thoughts that I am able to improve my financial situation very soon...this is very, very scary as well as embarrassing........
= new reply since forum marked as read
Please don't be embarrassed! Many, many people are in situations very similar to yours...
And it's not as though you weren't trying!
I'm holding every good thought that your situation will turn around very soon, and bring financial stability to you!
I know you're scared...I would be too...
Hang in there!
You don't have to give up everything. Good luck with the closing and what happens afterward
Anyway, best of luck on that closing.
Sales jobs can be boom-or-bust, gotta be stressful.
