FINANCIAL TROUBLE
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I 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.
