Just wondering if anyone else is going through this at the moment or has just been through it? I had to put my house on the market in July 2011 because I'm finding it very hard to keep up with the bills and the debts are mounting. I'm also stuck in a dead end job that I hate which doesn't pay enough to keep me going. My intention is to move back home with my parents and start again somehow (if the house sells), not an easy thing to do in your mid thirties to be sure. I was going to leave the house on the market and if unsold by January 2012 I would have to rent it out which I really don't want to do. That deadline is approaching fast now and I'm really not a happy camper at the moment.
The Irish budget in December made a few allowances for first time buyers to try and stimulate the market again but I don't know if it will make any difference. There is a huge surplus of houses for sale here as a result of our false boom and it unfortunately doesn't bode well for the seller of second hand homes. Meanwhile our top politicians with their high paying jobs have completely lost touch with the reality of ordinary folk and do nothing to alleviate the day to day worries of the people.
I know most of you are in other countries but I think our economies are in similar strife. The stress of all this is really getting to me now. Anyone out there with a similar tale of woe or offering a few crumbs of comfort?
