Reply To: Hit Rock Bottom…….

Well one good thing about hitting bottom is there is nowhere to go but UP!I have been wealthy in this lifetime and also been bankrupt.If the finances are tough remember to count the blessings you have in family and friends and take things day by day.I cant tell you how many times I have felt hopeless or how many times I have prayed and made deals with the devil to pay the bills and feed my kids.
I am a bad saver so my wife makes me buy things when i get a big check and pay cash for the purchase, Her logic is if i ever screw up again she can sell the big LCD , the boat etc .She keeps a safe in the bedroom for her and the kids and the truth is we would always be broke if she didnt take that position with me.You can give me 100k cash today and within 2 weeks it will be gone.I will buy $40 socks ,$300 shirts ,it is like my brain will not let me keep money.I also use to drink so I was the guy at the bar who had lots of friends and pay the bar tab.
My daughter is going to collage in 3 years so now when i take 500.00 from bank machine I give my wife her 50% and my daughter her 20%.It is starting to make me sick because my 15 years old daughter has a box full of cash , my wife same thing.I have 8 pairs of shoes though! :hattip:
Anyway I am glad this is in the anything you want thread , I dont get to post here much because the girls do such a good job.Anyone ever need a chin up ,contact me becuase I am sure I have been deeper than most.Trick is dont lay i the hole and give up , crawl your way out even if it means eating dirt and picture those you love most at the top of that hole.
Kind Regards ,
