No, it's my fault. I can't believe how stupid I was about it. I could have juggled just a little differently. I thought I was juggling just fine -- thought I was getting good at it actually, and then the ball hits me square in the face.

I moved here in 1993. The house is now a sort of nightmare albatross. I can't get a loan from the equity I have in it, because my credit is now, well, I think my rating is into negative numbers. I can't afford to pay for the house even with J, because I don't make enough in unemployment. I get family loans/gifts to pay the mortgage. But I can't move, because A) now four people are dependent on it, B) it would be a terrible time to sell because of the market, C) it would be a terrible time to sell because it needs about $25K in repairs.

So the best recourse is to continue to job hunt and hopefully get a good job and get back on track.
