Hope everyone had a good day. Today was a rough one for us. My grandfather fell, but sustained only bumps and lots of bruises which is painful, but better then a break. Also looks like we will run out of money before the house is finished, so that means I will have to exhaust my savings and the camaro repair fun. I am not going to be able to make it on unemployment so need to look at that as well. Unemployment is 1400 a month and the house payment is 1200. Stress is starting to kick in and once I graduate, the 800.00 a month student loans start. So I will get the house done so that is good. Doesn't look like I will be able to fix the camaro anytime soon, maybe in a few years. Like all of you I sure hope this recession ends soon, because it is no where close to being over in Oregon. Thanks for listening.......

sorry to hear about your grandfather, I hope things get better for him. but to say the least $1400 on unemployment is what I currrently bring home a month. I really wish I had a camaro, a suburban, and a car hauler, and was also building a new but very conservartive house to live in, and you have a savings account! geez Todd! sorry to say, but things are far worse for so many here! sad but true man

So true Chris. I may not have very many of those things here soon as I will sell them as needed and I am fortunate that I can. I am very fortunate in many ways, and just hope to stay that way. I am ok for now, but the future looks bleak, but you are right, there are many people way worse then me. The 1400 a month only last for 3 months and then gets cut in half every 2 months until it is gone. Again better then nothing. Thanks for the reality check.

Night all I am out
