Guess who's at my door!!! Forclosure....

Thanks for your well wishes. I'm hoping that those along with all the prayers I.ve been receiving will help us change things around for the good. I most certainly have the will. Leenie

Leenie, Please do not feel sorry for going on and on. I enjoy reading the opinions and advice of others. To be honest I am so eager for my husband and I to have our own place. I know it's much better to be financially prepared though and know that we will most likely be prepared mentally if not financially. I don't understand all there is to know about politics and economics, or the housing market. I do know that my husband and I want a doublewide and that the price of the size of doublewide we want has gone up. It was $80,000 and is now $96,000. It's caused me to consider looking at different floorplans but truth be told we haven't gone out to look at the houses personally so by the time we are ready the price could be down or up, or our interests of what we want changed. One things for sure, the house we get will be ours forever, that is, we don't ever intend to move, thus the bigger doublewide. Ah, see now I am blabbibg. But plese feel free to put in your input. I am hoping for the best for you and your husband!

Hey Cowgirl, What State do you live in? I'm surprised that the double wide you want went up. Here in Florida, everthing has dropped in value. I wish the very best for you. If your jobs are pretty stable then maybe your dreams will happen soon. Big hug, Leenie

Hi Cowgirl, The economy is bringing all this on. When my husband lost his job 2 1/2 yrs. ago, it was just the beginning of the economical break down. I became disabled one month prior to him losing his job. We had a fairly good savings but eventually it ran out. Like many other home owners our home dropped in value to the point that we couldn't sell it without owing money. We bought this house 3 yrs. ago and put $80,000.00 down. Today the house is valued at 100,000.00 less than when we bought it. Hold on to your money until the economy turns around or you might end up like us and millions of other people. When people are in their late 50's like my husband it makes getting a job much harder, especially when their are thousands of people wanting that same job. I think you are smart to pay attention to what is happening in this Country and many other Countries as well. The truth is, if you have never experienced what some one is going through then you can't really understand the whole picture. But if you keep your eyes open and learn what is going on around you, it may help you keep from making the wrong decision someday. Thanks for responding to my discussion and I'm sorry for going on and on. Leenie

here is a link for you to check out. http://www.jlodge.com/careers/, I hope this helps a bit.

Thank you Rob, I sent this site to my husband. It looks promising. If anything comes from it I'll let you know. Leenie

I haven't spoken to that friend in some time she caused some issues for me while moving so I can't call her a friend any longer. How are you?

Hi Tonya, How's the move going and how's little Angie? I hope you both are feeling much better. If you can find out from your friend about any program I'd be extremely appreciative. Knowing that you and that sweet baby are in a safer and hopefully a more fun place helps me feel much better. Enjoy your new home. Hugs Leenie

Dawn' The economy is hurting us all and I'm sure I haven't felt the worst of it. We would have sold the house but the value in the last year dropped a hundred thousand since we bought it 3 years ago. We have been praying for a solution that has yet to come. I am writing this discussion maily to let you all know that if you don't see me around all of a sudden, it's probably because I'm looking for somewhere to live. Till then, please wish me luck and say a prayer if you are so inclined to do. Leenie

I certainly will do so...

Hi Jenny, I can understand what you went through with your Mom. Bless their hearts, I guess when going back home you become their child under their roof again and must live by the rules. I am so glad you are on your feet again. I pray for that day for us. I will keep my head high and moving forward. Thanks for the well wishes. Leenie

You will get back on your feet you have a good outlook on your situation. I will be praying for you and your family

Hi Carol, Thanks for your prayers and well wishes. I believe that having my friends here at Mylot sending positive thoughts and prayers is what will get me through this last( I hope) phase of this nightmare. Like you said, so many people are suffering, too many people are suffering with the same. My heart goes out to each and everyone of them. This whole scenario is not right. Americans should not be facing these situations. Hugs Leenie

Mary Beth, I love you to pieces but you have your hands full with your parents. I will send you my address just because you asked but you know that your friendship means more to me than anything and I wish you and hubby and Mom & Dad well. You have such a good soul and it shines from within. Big Hugs Leenie

thanks for responding ersmommy1. I'm so glad that you have never had to experience any of this. My wish would be that no one else ever have to go through this. Leenie

Hey Jo, I wish you well. You have had your own problems to deal with. I have always wished I could help you, I still do. So, don't worry about me, I'll be just fine. How is your mouth? Hugss Leenie

Hey Leslie, I don't know where we are going to live. I'm using every moment I can spare to googling any possibilities and talking to whomever I can get to listen, just to learn of any possibility that might be out there. And don't be sorry about not emailing. We both have been working hard with our own problems. If I don't hear from you before I finish these responses, then I will email you. Hugs Leenie

Hi bhanusb, I am hopeful. There are worse things to happen than losing a house. Don't get me wrong, this is not something I would have chosen but I think you understand what I mean. My main worry is how we are going to be able to afford the rent of an apartment. But with God's help, everything will be ok. Leenie

Thanks for your prayers Cyn, At this point I really don't have a place to go but we will keep trying. I'm prepared to sleep in the truck if we have to. It may not run but we can sleep in the back if it doesn't rain. With all the prayers we are receiving, there will be an answer for us eventually. Thanks again Cyn. Hugs Leenie

Hi Dora, Thank you for your kind wishes. How awful for your neighbors. We just passed our 3 yr. mark here and I just can't imagine losing your home after 26 yrs. My heart really goes out to them. I'm thankful that my Son and my husbands Son are grown and out of the house. Thanks for your response. Leenie

Hi Mim, What lovely things to say to me. I treasure your words and the love behind them. Mim you have always spoken loving and kinds words to me and I want you to know that they are truly appreciated. I will be fine no matter what happens. As another friend stated, everything happens for a reason. I know that I have grown to be a better person because of it. So I don't regret what has happened. Hugsss Leenie

Hi Jenny, The way they dish out unemployment is they give them like 3 months in the beginning and then give them an extension for a few more weeks. Then cut them off. They don't care that they still don't have a job and that his wife is disabled. Then maybe a few weeks go by and the government ok's a few more weeks. We have no idea where we will go from here. But thanks for asking and responding to my discussion. Leenie

Well mom, I'm so happy for you that you found a place to live. My hubby isn't working yet and our only income is my disability income. I just keep praying he will get a job soon. But I don't intend to give up. Thank you for your blessing. Leenie

Hi Mom, My heart goes out to you as well. How old is your Son? Have you looked into financial help? You might be eligible for food stamps and other things. I know what you mean by the bills. We have had electric, and water turned off before. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. I hope I can help you out. Leenie

Thank you so much Sweetie. Thank you for the up lifting words and kind thoughts. It's funny, first my car breaks down and then my hubbies truck and then other things start having problems. Like they say when one thing breaks down, everything else follows suit. Bless You Too and big hugs Leenie

Hi lindie, Thank you for your prayers. That is most important to me. Also thanks for the best wishes with our garage sale. Leenie
