Choices

October 17th, 2023 at 02:48 am

I just came across a post where a mom shared that her mortgage is three months overdue, and she's seeking a remote job. She lost her previous job in January 2022. When someone suggested looking for an office job, she explained that her daughter uses the car for school, cheer practice, and basketball.

I've made my share of financial missteps, but if I were in her shoes with a three-month overdue mortgage, I'd consider finding a way for my kid to get to school for example the school bus if possible, carpool with a friend or I'd drop her off while I search for a job.

I  remember 2008 during the Great Recession when I took a job that paid just a little over $10 an hour to cover my rent, after being laid off, even though it was much less than what I used to earn.

I genuinely hope this woman finds a solution. I'm not judging her choices; we all do what we believe is right. 🙏

    That's outrageous. Do you have the ability to refinance?

    Sorry, I meant to post my message on one of your other entries about your student loan interest being $105.30.

    If I were that person, I would cut out some expenses temporarily until she gets the mortgage under control. Car insurance for the teenage driver, as the rate is much higher. I would follow this by either dropping the kid off at school or them riding the bus. Then, I would get a job, or hey, maybe two and pay that mortgage off. It's crazy what some people place such importance on, isn't it? In her case, it is not her four walls, but her kid participating in sports. smh
