The part time job of delivering mortgage delinquency
letters I’ve written about in a previous blog has some interesting twists and
turns.
Recently I was able to help a couple sort
out an administrative nightmare. Seems their mortgage has been sold twice
within a month and now they are getting dunned by two different companies. The couple
is totally frustrated. They have the money to bring their account up to date;
they just don’t know who to pay and are sitting on the money until they clearly
know who holds the mortgage. I don’t blame them.
My youngest son, 100% disabled Army vet,
still has kids to raise with all that implies including braces for growing
teeth. I suggested he consider doing what I am doing. Long story short, my
employer has signed him up and are giving him a ton of work.
I’m grateful. He is a worker, always has
been from his early teens, and cannot work a regular job. He has days when he
has mobility issues. The job allows him to work his own schedule, within
reason, and on his good days he gets a lot done. I hear a much better tone of
voice when we talk on the cell, more upbeat, without the undertone of
depression. He is so damn tough it breaks my heart when I know he is
struggling.
I may abandon the COLOEXIT plan. A tax
credit scheme 62+ senior complex is near completion in my town. I’m 98%
accepted. The anti government part of me is screaming, “You hypocrite”, for becoming
involved in a semi-socialist scheme. Another part of me says, “Son, you have
been, and continue to this day, paying income taxes for 61 years. Time you got
some back”.
(The husband of the recently defeated
Senator from MO has profited greatly selling these tax credits.)
All residents of the 200 unit complex are
over 62. The majority are women. I’m single. Possibilities????

If this doesn’t work out, the COLOEXIT
plan can be restarted.
Looking forward, those I care about have
their health, jobs, and a roof over their head. Can’t ask for more.
Here is wishing all reader a happy and
prosperous 2019.

And the same to you sir! Good news on the youngest boy too!!!
I'm glad you were able to set your boy up with the job. I know that there are socialist things afoot, but at the same time, maybe it's better to take the benefit than be forced to leave your home.
That's great to hear about your son. Few things are worse than wanting to work, but not being able to.

Happy dance.

I'll take the benefits but as I said still 98%. Relaxation comes with a signed lease.

He is an over achiever - always has been.
Congrats on your son's job. That's GOOD news. Meanwhile, sounds like you've got some interesting things on the horizon.
Moving. Argh! My late father always said the best way was a can og gasoline and a book of matches.
What a wonderful blessing for your son! Please let him know that I appreciate his service and sacrifice for our country.
Hmmmm, if this works out, I see you in hot demand from all the single ladies....you may never have to cook again. :-)
He doesn't see it as a sacrifice - just a job needed doing but he reads this blog from time to time.
Cooking? Well, that too.
So glad for your son. We all need to feel productive and contribute our share to society. You have contributed, and still do, so you are entitled much more than the low life's. I say take anything you have earned. And have a safe, healthy and productive new year, mate.
Thanks.
Congrats on your son's job, and good luck with the cash.
Happy New Year!
