    Mortgage Modification turn down!

    By simpleheart  |  Posted August 19, 2009  |  Elizabethton, Tennessee
     

    OK...we tried!

    I hope others had better luck!

    I had no choice but to take my Social Security Retirement early, at 62. Without having that start in July 2009 we would not have been able to keep our home! Now, between that and my 20 hour a week job, we make too much! I have to continue to work, at least until my husband is well enough to work again!

    We make about $1,400 a month! Really "living high on the hog", as they say!!!  But, we will make it!!! At least we have our home, and food enough for the week! The lights are on, and the phone is still connected! We are better off than many, and thankful for every small Blessing!!!
