FINANCIAL TROUBLE

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I wasn’t the only one facing financial trouble in Flint Bankruptcy seemed to be epidemic, with every other person, it seemed, filing one type of bankruptcy or another. I tried to stave off the trouble as long as possible, but I eventually couldn’t pay even my mortgage. This was the end, I thought. I needed to try to at least save my home. I had worked all these years to try to make something of myself, and I couldn’t let this set back ruin my life. I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to sell the house and move to a better economic client and a better weather climate. I had studied hard to get a degree in hospitality management, and had paid my dues with a series of low end jobs, working the graveyard shift, and now, when I just started to make some money and get ahead, the economy lets me down. This wouldn’t stand! I would not be beaten by the economy. Just because there was a recession, or a depression as far a the auto industry is concerned, I wouldn’t be stopped. I just refused to participate in the recession. I would file if I had to, save my house, reduce my bills, pay them, and leave.
