Honestly 2008 was the worst for my family. We lost our home to the greedy bank (not only did they trick us in believeing that we were signing a 30 yr fix when in reality it was a 5 year fix, when we put it on the short sale list and the only offer we got wasn't enough for them. They turned it down! Now the asking foreclosure price is 30 thousand less than the offer. GREEDY!) my husband was injured at work then I was laid off due to the economy then we had to sell our car because we needed to pay rent and what I make on unemployment wasn't going to cover it.

Now I've been out of a job for a little over 6-months. I just want a job. My family is literly going month by month. We didn't even bother with a christmas tree because we couldn't afford presents and we can't even afford my medication.  I just want a job....

Good luck.

My family had a very similar year to yours. You'll be in my thoughts.

you will be in taughts.
