I know I probably shouldn't complain about this, but I just have too...I live in Alaska & we get yearly Permanant Dividends, which is the money earned off the oil & spilt evenly amoung every person who has lived here for at least a year. This year it is very high at $1654.00 per person, so we have 5 in our family. Anyway we are almost a year behind in our mortgage payments & 2 years behind in land taxes, need firewood & heat oil & hay to last all winter for the goats & guinea pigs. Well I was counting on either all 5 or at least 4, hubbies might get garnished for school loan, but even missing his, we were going to get almost our whole mortgage paid up to be caught up (less almost $300, & now I find out that not only is his being taken, so is MINE!!!! The crappy part is that the person going to take our money (truck company) & us just settled in court & I have made payment arraingments & actually sent them $ last month, so how can they do this? It doesn't make since & if they do this...they won't get one red cent from us again, until dividends next year! I am just so upset, cause you don't find out until just days before you get the $, so you are counting on it for whatever & then find your whatever got screwed!!!! I know this probably sounds stupid to complain about "free" money, but we desperately depend on it every October just to help us with the past bills or last year was for down on our house, the few years before that, it was new furniture for the home & to pay up some bills ahead of time:) This is the hightest year, so we were super glad that we could get caught up & not loose our home & now I don't know what to do:( We only got behind, because hubby was extremely sick with Cancer & I worked a crap job that barely kept the lights & phone on:( Ok, so hopefully complaining "out loud" about this will make me not wanna just cry my eyes out:(

I give you a big Grandpa hug. Your story is hard...but it is also the reality for millions of other people., and it show that it is very expensive to be poor.

I hope you and your family will cope with it...don't let it put you down...search for positivity even if all looks dark..only then can you find solutions.

Another hug and good luck!

However, what Rhutobello has said is very true - if you can maintain a positive outlook, the answers will appear to you, along with the solutions. Have faith and believe that everything will work out the right way for you all.
