Tough times....... We've all been there at some point. Best thing I ever did was filing bancruptcy. Medical bills, etc. piling up and trying to rob peter to pay Paul is no way to live. Stress is a killer. I have learned to live without credit cards and feel much better. Every thing but my house is paid off and I hope I can continue to live this way. There are plenty of nice jeeps out there for $2500 or less and maybe once you can get back on your feet you can snag one up. I have never been unemployed and hope I never have to. I feel for ya and hope things turn around soon.

Sorry to hear that.....Trying to get by on just unemployment must be hard to do....

I remember not to many years ago financial advisers recommended that everyone should have a 3 month money supply to ride out any "tough times"....and I'd be surprised if most average working people were able to sock anywhere near that much cash away....Seeing lots of folks being out of work for 2 years or more today kind of puts things in perspective on how bad things have gotten.....

Good luck....Hope things improve for you soon.....

thats what i'm probably gonna end up doing....i had lost the jeep in january already and had paid 2000 to get it back with my tax return...but in a good way, it gets a monkey off back and having to look outside the window every couple of minutes to see if its still there....thanks for the moral support guys

sorry to hear about your jeep. times are tough and it sucks we lose the things that make us happy. tommorrow i'm heading to a pawn shop to sell a .303, .40 and a 9mm. guess thats what happens when i trust the wrong person to pay bills. effin bills where so high this month it took all my ssi check to pay. every month is a new adventure. i do hope you do find another jeep.

yeah...i got stuff in the pawn shop that i have been paying interest on for the past few months...32" flat screen, my daughters wii, my stepsons xbox & guitar,my drill, ipod,and some other things

i consider it to be all my fault...had a good paying job before we moved to nc from jersey...kept pushing my wife to move because it was too expensive ...now i think living is costing us more
