I would shelve the idea of buying a house--you cannot afford it. Stop being a typical American and live within your damn means. That means if you're nearly $60k in debt, you can't afford to take on a new mortgage. Rent an apartment. That's what your friends have been telling you for months and you stubbornly refuse to listen. Fine. It's going to be your funeral. Work at McDonalds? Holy hell...what is wrong with you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-13243556212701566332014-12-22T23:23:19.470-05:002014-12-22T23:23:19.470-05:00I hope your house sells sooner than later so you c...I hope your house sells sooner than later so you can put CT behind you.Nd.chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918828872616125907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-71494253451813412222014-12-22T13:56:44.516-05:002014-12-22T13:56:44.516-05:00It's going to be OK.

As for me....as soon as the house sells I will start applying. If I have to work at Mcdonald's...then so be it for a time. I am actually less worried about that. We do have money in EF, savings, and some that is in holding. But none of this is ideal....Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-22833156747117509332014-12-22T08:55:11.208-05:002014-12-22T08:55:11.208-05:00So what will you do if your house sells and you qu...So what will you do if your house sells and you quit your job? It might take some time to find another job(no matter what it is) so you will have $159 to cover what your current job covers? That is scary.<br /><br />My husband is currently off work on short term disability. When the first pay was deposited I knew it would be bad, but I was not prepared for just how short it would be. He was paid for 2 weeks what he would make in one.yikes. needless to say my line of credit has taken a hit.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948148571415167380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-83583051911639504282014-12-22T08:14:08.876-05:002014-12-22T08:14:08.876-05:00Ouch.

Remember that things will be easier when you are only keeping one household and with a presumably lower cost of living. Just think how much better it will be when the debt is gone!
