I finally managed to get my car 
. I must have put my resume in every business in every town in a 30 mile radius. Unemployment ran out am 3 months behind on rent. Electric and phone shut off notices have arrived. I have 2.53 to my name and 1/4 tank of gas. bald tires (thank God no snow yet) and my car needs to be inspected by end of next month. auto insurance to run out in 1 week. But I am NOT gonna give up! I am determined to make things work. on the positive side I did get my car back. I signed up at school for the next semester which begins in January. I made all classes be online so I don't have to worry about my schedual when I get a job. It is so discouraging not getting hired. Any one out there need online work done? Oh well. Pray for me please.
Wow how quickly life can change... I am now a 51 year old student who has been widowed for 2 weeks. I thought life was hard then it's worse now. Just as the light was coming into view at the end of the tunnel there was a landslide shutting off the end.
My husband of almost 35 years got sick and died in less than 2 weeks leaving me in debt, in the country with a car in the shop, no income, ane worse of all alone. My best friend is gone, no one to ask advice or even get those it will be alright hugs.
There are no programs to help widows under the age of 60 who have no minor children., except a one time death payment of $255. I had to give that to my landlord toward the 2 months back rent we owed. I need a long term loan of approx $5000. That would get my car out so I could find a job, catch up my rent, electric and phone, and at least allow me to grieve a bit then attemp to find a job. As it is I took this semester off but it is not looking like I will be able to return to college.
I could pay the loan back at $25 per week and am willing to pay interest, so if anyone knows anyone willing to invest in a long term loan. PLEASE let me know.
I did find a job that lasted 11 months before I got laid off. got a pell grant and went to college to become an accountant was doing very well and going to recieve my Associates in Science in aug of 2012 until my sweet John passed away. Now everything is uncertain.
This was the old me
I am an unemployed 47 year old woman who's company moved out of state in Dec. My unemployment ran out 2 weeks ago and I am rapidly sinking in my pool of debt. I did have an interview last Fri. but won't hear anything till July 16th or so. There's not much work in this area of Vt. I made my first visit to a food shelf the other day, and made a mental note that as soon as I get back on my feet, to make monthly donations to them (instead of just the food drive times). I've been married to the same wonderful man for 30 years and have raised 3 great kids. Thank God for my husbands disability check! It is only 100.00 more than my rent, but it's is better than nothing.
I found a house in need of repairs (we could live there while repairing), If I could find just 40,000.00 We could actually live on my husbands money, pay back that 40,000.00 in 10 years with a 8,000.00 profit and be able to pull ourselves up. This would all be without getting a job, which I intend on getting one, so all would be excellerated. I would still give the person the 8,000.00 profit just for taking a chance on me with their investment. Our credit is screwed, but my husbands check is gaurenteed monthly by the U.S. government. If anyone is able and interested give me a shout and we can talk the details. We would want it all done legally to protect both you and us.
