Depression and Debt – A Dangerous Combination

by debt kid on August 18, 2009

Does debt have you feeling down? The negative financial consequences of having too much debt has been well documented.

Foreclosure to Short Sale to Homeless to Renter

by debt kid on August 22, 2007

I can’t ever complain that I have a boring life. Sure, I’m lonely at times, but that is 99% self inflicted. I’m working crazy hours, and have pushed many friends away because I just didn’t want to have to hide what was really going on in my life.
I should be able to change some of [...]

Frisco to Sac town, I do it the Cali way…

by debt kid on August 2, 2007

Whew. Finally a minute to breath.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale the good. Exhale the stress….

Trip is going well. 1 sale already and I have a decent chance at closing 2 more tomorrow. I’m in San Francisco now after working Sacramento yesterday.

by debt kid on July 6, 2007

I have a self-esteem problem.
That’s difficult for me to admit, but I know that it is true. All the mistakes that I made the last three years have taken a toll on how I value myself. The worst part is that 99% of people when they meet me, or talk to me, have no clue [...]

Someone found this site by searching,

If you’re reading this now. Please call someone. Anyone. (go here…http://suicidehotlines.com)
Heck, leave your phone [...]

how many people does an inspection take?

by debt kid on June 4, 2007

Wow. That was really embarrassing.
Really…..embarrassing. I wasn’t expecting that at all.
I went to sleep for a few hours around 5:30am this morning, hoping to sleep about 4 hours, and then start the week off in the office. Around 8 though I’m awakened by footsteps outside the back of my deck.
I look out, and someone is [...]

rebuilding my life

by debt kid on June 3, 2007

The last few months have been a big change for me. My whole thought processes on money and wealth have been completely transformed. In good ways I believe. I’ve also been actively trying to revive my life outside of work. When I think about the last two years (when I was trading allot), I can’t [...]

$33 of pride

by debt kid on April 3, 2007

The House
This weekend some friends of mine offered to help me clean up around my house and getting ready for sale (although it already has an offer). How nice, right?
In the end, yes. But for a while I was like, “why am I doing yardwork in a home I am short-selling and that already has [...]
