Thanked: 586Having been out of work for over a year now I am very worried about the financial situation. There is no money in any bank account with my name on it. I am grateful for the help and patience of my girlfriend but my pride has me slipping into depression as I realize my retirement plan is basically to drop dead. Perhaps a stroke because of my blood pressure will end it mercifully for me. But I don't want to sound too blue. All is not yet lost. I do have a plan I am putting into effect this afternoon. However, the lack of money is still my biggest stressor. I am not talking about lambo-bucks. I am talking about the daily phone calls from bill collectors and the IRS bill increasing by 18% per year. I am talking about the lien on my car and the fear of eviction from the new crib. I would love to be rich but more than that I would love to be able to sleep at night, just one night.
Someone said, "Money can't buy happiness." That may very well be true. However, a few bucks in the right places might make my misery a lot easier to bear.Last edited by icedog; 08-13-2009 at 04:05 PM.
