Looks like this is a good place to vent and be anonymous at the same time.

Where has all of the money gone! My wifes business has taken a nosedive to 0 income since october 1.Zero reciepts for 3 full months.Went from a modest income to nothing.She was struggling with gas and insurance prices before but this has taken on a black atmosphere,we see no end in sight.

I work for an auto dealership service garage where the entire staff of 300 employees have been cut in half. My flag time has went to half.The garage looks like a ghost town on many days.

I adore the woman I married, she wants me to put my children first and pay my child support no matter what.I havent told the children this because the woman I married is an angel and doesnt think children should be burdened with adult problems. We eat on a minimal budget,we have never indulged in extravagant things like big screen TVs , vacations etc...Our life together has been frugal in that she has always done for others while having less for herself.I am embarassed that she will have to file personal bankruptcy because of the help she has bestowed on me...my girls...my mother and others.She rented the modest home she owned when we met, because she could see the collapse coming when she had to start using her credit cards more for gas and groceries and keeping the business going for the last 3 years. There is no income from the house but it may help to keep from losing it until she files bankruptcy then she will probably lose it.  The both of us are living in the basement of my mothers home and we are safe for now.

The labor market is dead unless you have a degree in the medical field.

I stumbled here by accident and am starting to cry as I write this. I have read several posts and find a good percentage of them to be similar to mine, if nothing else this may be talking to god in writing.A safe place for a man who is helpless to help himself or others in the time we all need it the most.

Hello,  I was a married, homemaker for eleven years. During our separation he told me that he was paying all of our bills. Months later I found out that he was not paying them.

In 2004 he filed bankruptcy, but did not include my debts. At this point my credit is destroyed. With bad credit I can't get the job of my dreams, working in a Call Center, to care for my boys.

I'm not asking for a handout, just a helping hand. I'm looking for someone with a big heart to grant me a loan.

Please help us, I'm scared. I do not want to end up homeless.

Sincerely,

BM1

I am the single mother of three truly delightful teenagers. I have been divorced for five years, and am presently receiving no support from my ex-husband. After I divorced him, he moved to another state and was subsequently convicted of a heinous criminal act, for which he is now imprisoned.  They don't collect child support from inmates and I am not eligible for any kind of assistance. I have been trying very hard to manage on my own, with some help now and then from family and friends; but earlier this year I was stricken with an illness that took a bite out of my budget, and then I was hit at work with a freeze on overtime. I depend on that overtime to make ends meet as my straight pay is inadeqate to live on. Over the past four months I've been unable to earn any of the overtime that I need to maintain my household and my finances have reached a point of desperation now. I've tried to earn extra income by bidding on freelance work through a reputable agency, but have been unsuccessful in securing any viable contracts. Right now I am behind on my rent, and while the couple who owns my house are very kind and considerate of my situation, they are rightfully losing patience and I understand that they need their money very badly. I have been blessed to have this home to live in with my children and I don't want to lose it. I work very hard, and I strive to do the best I can, but I'm truly in such a deep financial hole that I can't make my current rent payment, much less catch up the amount I am behind. I'm confident that overtime will resume eventually, but that may not be for a few more weeks. Right now I have hardly any food in the house, my power bill is due in three more days and I need immediate help. I am willing to return to this site later, when my finances are more solvent, and help others - but today, will someone please help me? I need at least seven hundred dollars to make my rent and power bill payment. I have about two hundred at my disposal, but that will put me into overdraft at the bank. Is there someone out there with a big heart who can see my family through this difficult time? Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

   My name is tracee i have 2 beautiful children.  We are new survivors of domestic violence.  My children and i are now under the care of catholic community service, safe house.  I own my own cleaning business, but under the circumstances we are under protective custody.  We are needing some finincial asssistance, since we are no longer able to live in the community we have been in for 15 years until my ex is actually caught.  Please if there is any one out there that can help my children and i find a safe place to live or help us financilly with a small loan we will be able to pay you back as i am awaiting a federal government grant.  we are from the catholic community.  My children and i are 15 year old boy and my daughter which is 3 years old.
