Why us?

Ummm, why did you not get the 8K credit?

 

[chickeypoo]

we didn't get it either cuz of the stupid rules. YOu have to have owned your previous house for at least 5 years out of the last 8(for the 6500 dollars) we had it for 3 before selling. so.. yeah, that totally sucks. we would have had enough money to fix up what was needed but we didn't realize till too late(when it was actually explained to us after contacting everyone that we needed to contact.. gave us a stupid run around to this and then that person) anyway, we got screwed. why not just make it for everyone to get one.. if you buy a house... period. not first time, not owning a home previous but it has to be at least 5 out of th last 8 years. stupid things like that.. and people i know who don't actually need it got it. ugh. i was disgusted to say the least.

Because the 8k credit can not be given if you buy from ancestrial (sp?) lines. Aka, because we bought it from DH's parents, that means we couldn't collect th 8k. There was no loop holes or anything around it. We bought the house in October, and everyone told us we'd get it, then come March when we filed is when we found out. We were fuming mad.

Now here we sit, trying to find odd jobs, and applying for real jobs like crazy. I applied for 18 jobs yesterday. All I got in my e-mail today? 3 rejection letters

They said they found someone more qualified to work in the hospitals gift shop. I was a retail manager for 6+ years. I'M GOING TO SCHOOL TO BE A DOCTOR!!! How much more do I have to be qualified to work at a GIFT SHOP! Ugh.

Well, it could be worse......

You could be living in a tent with nothing but your dog who stays up all night to chase the coyotes away!

You could be living in a motel that houses ladies of the night and their clients!

You could be living in a motel that is raided by the US Marshals!

You could be living in a trailer that has no heat. You have so many covers on the bed to keep warm that your legs are numb by morning but it's the only warm place to get dressed!

You could be diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer and given a 1in 7 chance of surviving the next 5 years!

You could be watching one of your best friends die of the same thing!

You could watching your cat dies of sarcoma!

You could be holding your best friends head in your lap as you watch them take their last breath!

It could be a lot worse than it is. Been down that road. All you can do is pull yourself up and keep on breathing day by day. Ask whatever god you pray to to show you the way no matter where it leads.

You are never down until you stop getting back up

Oh geez. And you are in Wisconsin to boot...not exactly a hot bed of economic activity.

Are you financed through the bank or are the parents financing the house?

 

[Raiquee]

Coyote) You are right, it could be a lot worse. But I don't want to tell myself that, I want to know this is the worst of it. If I worried how it could be worse I'd cry myself to sleep every night. I'm sorry you had a rough road to go down, and I hope you are now in your better days

Wife) The house is financed through the bank. And your right about Wisconsin. But, I keep applying to any job I see, in hopes that I'll get a job.

Doing pretty good. Just found out we are only going to have to file a Chapter 13 not at Chapter 7 to save the house, truck, and still be able to pay off all the medical bills. I was making nearly $4K a month before I got sick. Lurchie made about twice that before he had to take a job where he would be home to take care of me.

We have no chemo to pay for

Even with insurance, each treatment cost me a minimum of $11,000. Do you eat? Pay the house payment? Pay the chemo? or Pay the truck payment? Never mind the dog needs her shots and you just got a hole in your last good pair of shoes.

you've gotta learn to laugh, otherwise you will drown in the tears
