I signed up a long time ago but never used it. I'll have to sign up again.

I have enough to last 10 months to a year if my mortgage is being paid by a renter. If I got unemployment payments it would last longer. The CD will rollover in 2 weeks but I think I will take it out just in case my job goes away. My next extra mortgage payment won't be until the end of Feb. I'll see how things look with the job before I make the payment.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-68324014774629679802009-02-01T17:03:00.000-07:002009-02-01T17:03:00.000-07:00Laura, I was thinking of your business while I was...Laura, I was thinking of your business while I was sorting the house.

In the event you do lose your job this will extend the amount of time you can pay your mortgage while looking for income replacement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-30234927347060857892009-02-01T02:12:00.000-07:002009-02-01T02:12:00.000-07:00Hi there-oh, you've been doing really well, hope S...Hi there-oh, you've been doing really well, hope Sunday is a better day for you my dear, hope you find the silverware too.Sharon Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792904322725966887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-35216646848696370172009-02-01T01:21:00.000-07:002009-02-01T01:21:00.000-07:00Hi DaizyI think you are bound to feel a bit deflat...Hi Daizy<BR/>I think you are bound to feel a bit deflated after all that 'excitement'. You kept going when plenty of people would have just given in. The work situ is just something more to worry and unsettle. By next weekend you will be feeling much better, i am sure.

Unless it is a HELOC mortgage you are paying off, your money is locked up there and will not be available for you to live on if you need to find a new job. Just something to think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-69084040536248506932009-02-01T00:09:00.000-07:002009-02-01T00:09:00.000-07:00Hi Daizy, you're probably really tired from the 'w...Hi Daizy, you're probably really tired from the 'week of hell' that you had, so the last thing you want to do is tackle all that stuff.
