It is easy to blame yourself for not having a crystal ball. My husband is a construction/carpentry business owner who decided to venture into ‘home-building’ a few years ago. I fought him tooth and nail about it but went ahead and co-signed loan after loan and we did well financially because the homes sold or pre-sold quickly but even so something kept telling me enough was enough and to back off the building biz.
Well, now we are upside down on 4 homes that couldn’t sell which we are renting for under the value which means we are out of pocket over 3,000 dollars just to cover the mortgages. My hubby cried this morning and told me he was sorry and I told him to pick himself up by his boot-straps and get busy because he got us into this and he sure as heck can get us out of this. I was angry for a time at him but now I’m resolved to let the chips fall where they may and have faith that things will turn around.
By the grace of GOD we are surviving by the skin of our teeth and keeping our employees working too.
Don’t lose faith. ♥
55 is still young!
