Oh come on... I need to get away... pray

So, I was thining that today was going to be a good day... I am trying hard to be possitive for many reasons besides my health... Started the taxes last night and looked like I would be able to pay down some of our credit cards and Jeremy get a new road bicycle...

Then this morning I got a text message from him... he took my car (a 1995 subaru legacy wagon) and had all kinds of issues... I was really hoping that it would last until this fall so I could get us into a better credit picture (it isn't bad but not as good as what it was before)... right now I don't think anyone would give us a loan... well Jeremy thinks it could be the transmission $1000 to 2000... or this other part that might only be $250.. the 250 one is much better... that is easy to do... the other not so much...

So, please pray for us... I am getting ready to rework my cover letter to send out some resumes... but I am also scared to leave the crappy gym job because it is a paying job... but my asthma is getting worse while working there... Argh I just don't know what to do... and this is messing with my eating as well... argh... I need a break lol... a vacation would be nice... never been on one lol...

Thanks for letting me vent...

Hi Shannon,
I was where you are when I totalled my car in 2007.  My credit was in the toilet, and I totalled a car I had hoped to get a few more years out of.  I got a check from my insurance, which would have gotten me a beater, but being a single woman, I kind of wanted something with a warranty.  A friend suggested I talk to someone who works at a Honda dealership, and I thought, Yeah, right...I can dream.  Well, I found a car that would be perfect, if I got the loan, but did not believe they would get me financing.  Well, they did get me financing.  

I guess the moral of my story is, hang on, and see where things land.  Keep the faith that things will work out in their time.  It's hard if you are out of work, and I totally understand that you would get discouraged in today's job market.  If you need a shoulder to cry on, I am here...I have a few days off at the end of the week if you need to talk.

Hugs,
Trish

Hi

You are not alone.  I am in the process of losing my car.  In reality, it's gone even though it is physically here. The bank doesn't want to travel four and a half hours to come get it.   I did get some money in from my settlement and there are a variety of choices I could make as to how to use it.  It is a struggle.  I could blow it all on a car and that's it, or pay on some bills, or save it.  Hard choices.  Do we need a second car?  It would be nice, but at the moment with my husband out of work, probably not.  So, I will be praying too!

AwW Shannon- so sorry to hear that! *hugs* if you need to talk/vent/cry whatever you can always call or e-mail me! (610-462-1204) and hey - I hear there is this great cooking class next weekend (2/28) that might just be the escape you need!! lol

Best of luck with the job hunt too!

Shannon, you seem to be getting wave after wave to surmount.  I will be praying for you and Jeremy and for things to turn a corner and get better.  On all levels.

Regards,
Keri

Shannon--You are in my thoughts and my prayers!!! You will get through this! (((BIG HUGS))))

My clunker (95 Bonniville) didn't pass inspection.  Luckily I found another car the next day and it was pretty cheap.  Another clunker (94 escort) but its in much better shape that I expected.  It was owned by an older couple that took excellent care of it.  I'm praying you'll be as lucky and find something quick.
