Barely Hanging OnSo I think this may be the worst situation have ever been in. But somehow, I am so calm and stress free. I have said it a million times- my life has to be complicated in order for me to understand. We are almost officially screwed! Take this in, and give me some advise. This situation comes in STAGES!
Stage one- We could not afford the house payment anymore! Are you surprised? I'm not! Once we lost our roommates and had so much trouble finding more? I am not suprised at all! We went a good month or two broke!
Stage two- We sold the house. If we cant afford the house, sell it! We will get an apartment together. Wayne finally has a decent job now so we will be able to afford that no problem... that is... when he starts getting paid!
Stage three- Apparently- when you sell a house, all of its little dings and small issues.. have to be corrected! So we are spending every fucking dime we have on paint. Keep in mind, the house is sold but it does not close until september 12. So that is when we get the profit from the house.
Stage four- Like I said, the house closes on the 12th of next month... so we need an apartment ASAP! We have one in mind, we go there tomorrow to check it out... but moving cost money!!! Are we going to have enough to get there and pay everything?! I hope so!
And THAT is where we are right now. You know, I called my mother (who is also a realtor) and she said that since the house closes in 30 days and the mortage company will be getting ALL of their money back, to not worry about this months house payment. So the straps ease up a little bit. But how are we going to afford to fix up the house and the moving cost at the same time? I may have to go toe to toe with my pride and borrow money from someone! |
