Bad Economy Strikes Again!

CrysW08CrysW08 member
in Boston Nesties

Today was supposed to be a somewhat happy day, Dh and I signed closing papers to sell our house in FL, after having it on the market since November '08 which is when we decided to move here for Dh's new job.

And then, this afternoon, Dh was laid off from that job. His company had been doing terribly since last year and had been laying off quite a few people over the past week but I thought surely Dh wouldn't be next, the reason he ended up with this job was because he was laid off from his job in FL, there's no way that kind of luck would strike us again! Apparently, I was wrong!

I think we'll be fine because he can draw unemployment and he had already been sending his resume out because he was so paranoid about losing his job but it's so annoying that things were finally working out for us and then this happened.. Sad

    I'm so sorry, Crystal.  I know what it feels like to have a run of bad luck, or to take one step forward and then feel like you take two steps back.  The past year or two have been like that for us too, what with me being unemployed for a year and half, then DH getting laid off just as I get a job, and some other family things.  I'm really sorry you're going through this, but the market is generally looking up a little bit so hopefully your DH can find something soon.  I'm glad to hear you guys have a cushion to fall back on at least.

    Congrats on getting the FL house sold though; that's got to be a huge relief.

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

    That's horrible, I'm so sorry. I hope things work out for you. I think so many of us have been there these last few years and it's so hard. You've got a great attitude about it which is half the battle! Good Luck!

    Aww Crys I am so so sorry. I totally feel your pain, if you remember last year DH was laid off once, got a job, then laid off again, all within 9 months. If you need to talk/vent/whatever, you know where to find me. I know it may not seem like it right now, but it is great news that you finally closed on your house! Just try to keep up a positive attitude, like Rock said things are turning around.

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband's job. My DH was laid off for nine months and finally found a job three weeks ago. I know what it's like to be paranoid ... I often get nervous he'll come home laid off again. But keep your chin up! Things will get better. On the bright side, you sold your house, so at least that burden is gone. Good luck!

    Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your DH's job.  I hope he finds something else soon.  That is great news about your house, though!  One less thing to worry about.
