8. It is truely a sad situation
I did ok until oct of 2004 but since I lost that job i am just at the lest possible level of staying alive . I have sold most everything i had and don't ever see getting this back and that's ok , really . Oh sure it's a loss but it was just things .

I see many people who have absolutely no talent and have to wonder how on earth they have a job that pays well enough to live in a $1600 per month apartment , drive a new car and have new clothes and the latest electronics .

I never went to college perhaps I should have but then after 32 years would what I learned even apply now ?

I keep searching for the job that will allow me and my wife to feel secure but the roll down the list of jobs is a short and depressing one indeed .

Gone are the days where you could walk into a place and fill out an app and get an interview , no more signs outfront of companies with help wanted written on them .

Most of it is online and hope and wonder if ever someone will call . I can easily see why many people feel the loss of life is the only way out when there is no way up .

I am glad I don't have a family to care for or children to raise because I would not want to fail them or take them on the same road to hell .

At times I see in the future people having to resort to two or three family dwellings just to be able to afford housing and then most places have their rules about how many can occupy the same residence .
