News is a bit lukewarm tonight, between good and bad. Not bad though...
My good ol dad (bless the man) wired me the money needed to pay my car. This put an extra three weeks time for me to get a job before the repossession threats arise again. While this brings a great deal of relief, I'm not out of the storm just yet.
Jobs are few and scarce here and just about everywhere. Though I've heard good rumor that gas prices are starting to lower (below $3 in some places) which would be every bit of help with the budget.
I'm hoping tomorrow (Monday) that there'd be some sign of employment. I'm expecting phone calls from at least two places, one from Cracker Barrel (a country store/restaurant) and another from the Exotics Foods place.
While worrying and piddlin' about about work, a new prospect of living has popped up. The good mates across the street from here have both agreed to maybe rent me their place out with the option to buy. The rent as low as $250 a month. A nice lil trailer home that'll serve my every need. But there's no sure promise in this yet. I'm in competition with my sister to get the place (first one with a job gets it). And the couple who agreed said they'd have to wait and see what their daughter is doing (she's supposedly the current resident there, but since a divorce and losing her children, she's hardly ever there anymore). If I get the place, I agreed to let my sister and her three little noisy dibbuns crash there until they can get a place of their own. But with the place being mine, I would be free to do as I please. =) Fingers crossed, and prayers a plenty, I say! First step is getting that dratted job!
Oh, and to good ol Kor, I'm sure it was you who had called to assist in my needs. Bless ya matey. Though I was really aiming that phone number to my mateys in Fayetteville Tennessee. My mother was not too happy with me giving out that number to the e-mail list. Nuthin' you did wrong though, your attempt to help a mate in need has earned you a high position on my matey list =) Cheers and a toast to ye!

Good to hear things are getting at least a bit more positive, and i hope you can get out of this problem you're having as soon as possible. Good luck, Aves.
-
That's awesome Aves! I'm happy that your life is getting better and better.
-
It's good to know you're doing better.
-
Well I'm glad your life is improving. I hope you get the place, especially since I know you're gonna take care of your sister if she doesn't get it. I wish you luck. :yes
-
Hey that's good. I hope a job comes soon for ya ;)
-
That's great!
Things solved out and you will(probably) move out from your parents house.
Realy nice what you are doing for your sister.
Best of luck to you Aves :yes
-
A step in the right direction. :) Make sure the finances are in order before you take on another bill (rent).
-
Good luck on things getting better in the near future.

My mother had asked me while on my way out today if I'd rather keep the money that wired to me and instead buy a car that my stepdad's friend is trying to sell. As much as I love my current car, the notes on it are literally what's destroying me financially... So I agreed to maybe look into it. If I go through with the plan and everything works all fine and dandy, that'll be $300 less that I'd have to worry about every month.
There are some complications that are getting in the way of making this payment anyway. Banks are closed today, and we dont want to go through the trouble of spending an extra ten bucks to wire the money to the dealership.
I'm going to miss my lil car. A nice model. Its lasted me through thick and thin over the past two years. But all good things do... pass away.
-
That's sad to hear...
But you know, if it will help, maybe its best that way, right?
-
I guess it depends on what car you have to give up and what you're trying to purchase with the money you saved.

The various thing have to be weighted, including gas mileage, how often each car is libel to brake down and require repairs, monthly bills on keeping each car, ect.
