Well that just happened to me. I thought the last 5% of our RV goal was going to be covered by a lump sum I was expecting. Today I called to make sure and I was told that my account is “Paid in full.” Translation=No more money!

We scrounged around the house looking for more stuff to put on Craigslist to make up the 4 figure difference. What do we do? I’m sick to my stomach and I can’t bring myself to call the dealer and tell him we can’t pick it up on Friday because we are short.

These are some of the most difficult times in life for me. When everything seems to be working against me, what do I do? Do I quit because it’s some higher power is putting obstacles in front of me to prevent me from making a huge mistake? Or do I stay persistent and determined so that I’ll appreciate it more when I get it?

Our couches are gone, our computer is gone, and our TVs are gone. How can we turn back now?



Is there anybody out there? What would you do?
