Why fit everyone into the same category?

I am in a group of women here in the south who do animal rescuing. One lady and her husband have fostered close to 70 something children and when I visited her home the other day she had pictures all over the place of her "family." She has adopted 4 children, black, mixed, does not matter. Why do people get the idea that all southerns are alike? Wrong assumption, again.

I fall in this category and this is NOT TRUE.
Hassert needs to get his facts straight.

I don't know if we'll fall in that category
Our mortgage is at 6.5% interest, I think MSN said it had to be over 7%?

I didn't get to see his speech, I've been trying to read up with some articles and read what's written here (with a grain of salt of course)

We are okay for now, but like you said, one bad month and we could be in trouble. We are fortunate enough to have family members that could help us for a month or two if things got really bad, but of course not indefinitely.

We are trying to sell our house now and move back to my husband's hometown, that way we'll cut our gas bill (he drives about 90 miles a day for work out there) and we are planning to buy a mobile home and put it on family land until things get better. If we can sell our home for what we are asking then we can pay our credit card bills (about $5,000 between the both of us) and actually put some money in savings, because it scares me that we don't have any money in savings. I just don't feel right saving money when I owe people!

I just get scared. We have tried to do right. We took out a straight fixed mortgage, we didn't buy much of a house at all, his truck is a 96 and mine's a 98, we don't have big screen tv's or fancy furniture, and our mortgage is as much as it is to rent a house around here. But we are young, and we don't have things like savings and health insurance, and we know if just one thing goes wrong we could be in a lot of trouble. My poor DH has been graduated with a bachelor's degree for almost a year now, has applied all over, and can't catch a break. He has a good GPA, experience in working with youth and troubled teens, and a likeable personality (I know I'm biased lol) but things just never seem to come together!

Oh well. Everything happens for a reason. All we can do is pray and keep our noses clean! (and put every extra dime towards paying off debt!)

I don�t fall into the sky is falling category

Add 3 more to the nameless troll category. So much for a truce. nm
