Losing ones home

[Twisterdog]

I'm SO glad my home is paid for! It's small and old, but it's mine and no one can take it away.

I heard a song on the radio the other day, and one line really caught my attention: "We are all just one phone call away from our knees." True.

I'm so grateful I have a house with no mortgage. Although our taxes are outrageous and the utilities can slide up and down, it's mine. I don't know how long I can stay here, it's getting too much to handle, even with help, but, believe me, I say my prayers everyday.

Everytime I see a foreclosure, I want to cry. I just couldn't imagine the pain and heartache and emotional frustration. It's a nightmare.

How incredibly sad that the coworker couldn't have spared the poor family and kept the information to her/himself.
Only a matter of time before somebody goes down that street and finds the house.
The sense of privacy that used to exist seems to have vanished.

Such a sad and common reality today. Will pray for them...God knows who they are.

well that´s sad..

I know this can and might start an argument off topic.. but it crossed my mind.. and it´s not my intention to flare things up.. just curious..

would you still be sad if the people losing their home were illegally in US?...

Well Isabell now that you brought up the subject.. Here is my thoughts = for one Alot of people think of Color & Race to determine Illegal.. **Not me** = When I think of Illegal then I think of they Dont Pay US Taxss.. Then if that is the case then yes.. If they are legal then that means they pay US Taxss just like the rest of us..

well that´s sad..

I´m all for people being legal wherever if they want the benefits they should have also the obligations.. but it seems lately it has turned into a if-you-LOOK-or-TALK-like one.. then you probably are...and you´d most likely be hit, shot or even killed for that as some recent cases I´ve seen where not even illegals were dead.. but they looked like.... THAT is what gets me.. that some tend to generalize..

just asking that if she found out they were illegals she´d change her "sorry for them" and be like "awesome they got kicked"..

I have no idea what you are talking about.
Number one she does not live on this street. I do. The address was not given just the street name.
Number two this is public knowledge.
Number three if they lose their house a "for sale" sign will be up soon.
I just felt it was so sad that people have to lose their home that they worked so hard to build, maintain. Their safe haven is now going to be taken away.
