Things Are Gonna Hurt
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
Things are not looking good, all over. Are we going through a recession, a depression, or just a temporary downturn.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s going to be temporary either.
So, Depression? Someone (I can’t remember where I’ve read this) said, “Recession is when your neighbor loses his job, Depression is when you lose yours.” So far, that means recession for us, depression for my neighbor. Gulp.
More and more, people will be looking for Debt Relief of one kind, or another. ‘Pup and I have a plan (baring another hurricane hitting us and taking down more fences), and we should be out of debt in a year and a half or so. I know others won’t have that ability to get out from under things.
There are a lot of programs out there, offering payment plans, and negotiated settlements. Freedomdebtrelief.com promises something similar, with the ability to consolidate the different debts into one payment. Just being able to negotiate a lower amount to pay back would give some lightening of the load, and a shortening of what has to seem one of the longest roads one can face.
Mostly, I think the secret is facing what you owe and then taking action to change things that make you fall into deeper debt. It’s not easy to give things up that you’ve come to enjoy. Me, I miss movies and cable TV. Oh, well.
