I felt I had to make a save. We were in real danger of falling off page one.

T-minus one day and counting.

sorry guys didnt finish the planes this weekend . had really no time. bad times set in this weekend. had to put our house up for sale t prevent being forclosed on .

our only option to keep it is to somehow come up with 60k to pay off all of our bills and save our house. if anyone has any ideas let me know.

i will have pics up as soon as possible.

thanks guys , we are trying to find a way to get a loan to pay off our debt as long as it comes to $1,000 or less to pay a month then we will be able to afford the mortgage and basically with the big loan all our other bills will have been consolidated into one managable payment. if not the house will go and we will be able to afford all the other bills.

 

thanks again guys !

Kenny I feel your pain. Before you scramble to find money in every seat cushion, equity loan, 401k loan etc. listen to papi, I have been there. I bought a house before selling the old one. I went through all of my savings, then took out a 401k loan to keep up payments on two houses,every month I fell farther behind and took out a 2nd mortgage. I fell farther behind and things kept getting worse. Finally I talked to a lawyer. I ended up in BK court with a distribution from my 401 that's gone forever,(16k, and I had to pay taxes and penalty on it) Six years later I was discharged from chapter 13. If I would have talked to the lawyer first, I would have been much better off. Please talk to a lawyer before you start taking loans out. He may be able to show you another way to hold on to what you have and climb out of the hole. I now have no credit cards and haven't for almost eight years, I send my son to a private  high school, have two decent cars and a tiny savings account. If I would have spoken to him first, I would not have had a 2nd mtg, I would not have taken a loan against my retirement, I still would have been BK but it was hard having a brick on my paycheck for $834.16 every two weeks , for six years. It should have been about $425.00 had I seen him before trying to fix everything myself.

Think smart, sometimes you need the help of a professional who knows how to help.

Good Luck and God Bless.

Tony

Hey Kenny,

Sorry to hear about your hard times, man.  Like everyone else has said, I wish there was something I can do.  At least know you have my support.

I hate to say it, but I can empathize with you on a personal level too.  My problems are of the marital rather than the financial sort (though those ain't great either) and are one of the reasons my participation has dipped in recent weeks. 

Hope things take an upturn for you soon.

And yes, I WILL get those $%^& pics of the Sturmovik posted (the camera is tied up in the marital... disruption...)

Kenny, seriously nice work on the tiny tiny planes. They certainly finish the carrier off nicely. An empty deck always looks wrong in my eyes. I have a 1/700 carrier in my stash, and much as I would like to build it the 1/700 aircraft in the box are scary small.
