We’ve just been turned down by our mortgage company for any programs that will get us out of our house… there was a small hope we’d qualify for a deed-in-lieu, but no go. Do I think we deserve help in getting out – maybe not, but I’m upset that we did the right thing, what people are supposed to do – bought within our means, maintain perfect credit, pay everything on time, etc. and we don’t get minimal help while the people who did what you AREN’T supposed to do are getting the assistance. UGH!!!!!!!!!
I’ll regret posting this in a few days, I’m sure. I’m upset and my husband is sick of me venting to him, so why not post it all for random strangers (and hopefully a few friends) to see.
I’m truly ready to just ‘jingle mail’ the keys back to the bank. Our house has been for sale for ONE YEAR and we’ve yet to get even ONE PHONE CALL on it. Not even one! I’m not kidding. It is priced appropriately – well, not for this market – I could be asking $1.00 and it still might not sell in this market. I’m convinced that Obama is going to offer foreclosure rescue in the near future, so why not jump on that band wagon? I’m that desperate.
So, we’re stuck. Stuck in Dallas, GA. Don’t get me wrong, if my hubby were here, I’d happily be ‘stuck’ in Dallas, GA. This is a fine place to be stuck in… I just don’t want to be a single mother anymore!
Are you sick of my pity party yet?
Oh, wait, wait, wait…. There’s more… The front page of the AJC this morning discusses the $99 MILLION earmarked for GA spending.
Here is a sample of where these funds will go:
$2.4 MILLION to a chicken lab in Athens, GA
$500k for inmate programs
$300k to preserve a 1925 train coach in Savannah, GA
$209k to study blueberries
The ridiculous list goes on and on. I’m all for helping pump life into our economy, but chickens, blueberries, and an antique train – give me a break! I cannot be convinced that this is the answer.
I’m rambling and little here is cohesive, but know this – Costa Rica is looking more and more appealing every second of every day!

Wow, Jodi... I really feel for you guys. I'm feeling the same "stuck-ness," but at least I get a break from my husband's traveling once in a while. It's rough, though, because I know he's not happy doing what he does, and making a change would probably require selling our house, which as you know, is next-to-impossible right now. It really stinks that the whole stimulus package is SO BACKWARDS! Praying for you... our help comes from the LORD!
Hi Jodi,
I am so sorry! There must be somehting in the air because I had myself a pity party last night! And I don't really feel any better for it, either! Hang in there. We will keep praying and trust that God has something very good for your entire family, and very soon! Too bad the system never seems to work for the law abiding, honest people. But, God is watching...
All I can think of to say is "I luv ya sister!!!" You go right ahead and rant - that means your REAL and not the stuffy religious type :) God and your Godly friends can handle it cause we love you so much! I'm praying hard for God to restore you to your husband - no matter how!
Hi Jodi,
I am sorry for all of this. If you do "jingle mail" your house keys, what will happen to your credit rating? Would you be able to buy another home in Floria? I will continue to pray for you all during these crummy times.
Kate
