  • I gotta sell the Firebird

    After calculating medical costs, and not having ANY luck finding a job, I am coming close to having to sell my Firebird. I was starting my apprenticeship in January, but because of the 12 ER visits, and the almost $6000 accrued from those visits, I had to re-commence my training in April. Also, because of my unemployment running out several weeks ago, I am on my last dime.

    I tried to find a job for the two months I was off, only to almost never get a callback. I would have second and third interviews for simple jobs from placement agencies, only to not get a callback from them either, or making me jump thru hoops for a $7 an hour job an hour away in the south suburbs. And because of the unemployment running out, and me having three months of unpaid training at a school 30 miles away for 8 1/2 hours a day, I have no money left. So, unless one of these part time places calls back, like Advance Auto Parts, Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, Dominicks, or Jewel, I will have to sell the Firebird. What kills me is that a messed up part time job like Lowes has me waiting for a second interview, and then after that, possibly a third. In the meantime, im broke as hell. So if anyone might be interested in the car, here is the post....

    This is honestly depressing. I own almost nothing, and what little I own I have to sell off just to make ends meet, because finding a job in Chicagoland is harder than not getting arrested for murder. I guess I am curious when whatever higher power will stop beating the living **** outta me whenever I try to take a step forward. Its always been one step forward, two steps back. Just sucks I guess.

                  Sorry to hear about it... don't sweat medical bills too much. I still owe a ton, so I went out and bought a 2nd money pit of a car... :)


                  most medical bills show up on credit reports but don't affect anything.




                  PS to anyone doesn't have it, go out and get medical insurance, preferably good medical insurance.

                      sucks dude. finding a job anywhere right now seems to be a *****. it took me close to 3 months to find something. i applied for close to 30 jobs and heard back from 3. one i wasted 25 bucks in gas just to go fill out the application and go thru the interveiw crap just to be told they filled the spot a day later. the job i do have, i dont want, but i wasnt in a position to be picky so i took it. take what you can get, it seems easier to get another job when you have one.

                      keep at it, something will come up.

                          definitely...

                          i come home one day from work, scratch my nuts notice a bump... next thing i know I wasn't working for 7 months, had ~$192,000 in medical debt, roughly $15k in regular debt(lived off credit cards while I had no income) and then my clutch took a dump in the camaro...


                          I am doing much better now... and got most of the debt taken care of, but still hurting from it, and working like a whore to get things fixed.

                          yeah... and pretty much screwed up my college plans.

                            why robert, who knew you were a "laws of attraction", "power of positive thinking" kind of guy :D

                            I have to for the most part agree with that stuff but I think they make it much too complicated. If you really want something you will find a way to get it, if you don't get it then you really didn't want it bad enough.

                            Anyway back to the OP, sorry to hear about your problems man, if you want something bad enough you will get out there and make it happen.

                              Hittin' close to home. This was me ten years ago. Lost college plans, broke, owed everybody. It was hard times for sure, sucked ***... but I kept diggin', kept my head up... all that jazz, now my live is a complete 180. You keep diggin' too, bro. Things will turn for you too if you keep your head straight ahead and don't look back.
