Hope everything comes together for you soon. It's pretty rough for a lot of people these days. What I have noticed during my period of unemployment is that when I am making money, there are a lot more freebies available from free lunches at work to free services at the bank. When we are unemployed, all the freebies go away, and not only do we have to scramble to stay afloat by making major and sometimes painful sacrifices, but we end up getting hit up with all the additional charges the bank heaps on us for not having periodic direct deposit or maintaining minimum balances. And then to throw more salt in the wound, we have to deal with large penalties for accidently missing a small payment or exceeding our credit limits (even though the bank may have recently reduced our limit causing us to exceed the new limit with our old balances). It is very frustrating and unfair especially considering all of our money given to the banks to bail them out when they were on the verge of collapse (after they recklessly made bad investments or stupid decisions). The banks are ruthless and as unforgiving as anything I can possibly think of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
