Unhappy In Just A Couple Hours

I'm really sorry for this person but just shows how fast things can change now days.

Had a friend call said she orderd a New Sports car.Couple hours later she calls said she got to work.Place is empty,Big Sign Closed.She said she was getting drunk and don't know what she is going to do,there is no place pays even close to what she was making.

Was it a foreign made sportscar.......

or made in the US of A??? Either way, you'd have to be a fool to buy a new car in these *(lack of) economic times.

Quite Some don't believe hard times are coming . But i bet she does now But maybe not, some won't believe it till they go to the store to get their supper food and the price it threw the roof or the shelf is empty .

Then they will head for someone elses place to crash that did see it coming

I worry about the fact we bought this House,my wife keeps assuring me it will be ok.We're doing ok with my Pension have couple other Bills once they are paid we will be doing Great.Not so great for my wife if I should die.She is counting on the Kids helping her if this happens.

Trying to Remodel going with cheap as we can but look good.

Had couple yesterday asked to look at our Cabin.Stuck to the price we need.Give them few days to get back.If they don't we will be better off.Thinking move the Buildings here and keep the Lot,or move the Buildings Sell the Lot,or just keep it all the way it is keep it maintained.

I don't know times are hard.

Most of the time there is a buyers remorse period. Perhaps she hasn't passed that cut off day yet?

Reverse is way over rated anyway Some folks are just picky

They may of passed it but i bet her remorse just started a few hours ago or when she saw that gate locked .

I wouldn't worry about it. I would just call the dealer and tell them what happened. If they want to be hard-nosed and enforce the contract the judge will recognize that it wasn't deliberate, but I doubt they'll do that.

Well the op didn't say whether she had it yet . But i would say if she done licensed it and was riding around in style tough luck lady

If you can't afford it don't get it . I never had a job i thought was forever or would give up two years of salary for my transportation to get to work to pay for my way to work No accounting for stupid

In this economy and with the weak leadership in this country, confidence is at an all time low.
I wouldn't borrow any money right now if I could help it.

I find it a little strange that that they locked the doors & closed the business without the employees having any idea there was a problem .

My house may be showing its age at 57 years old with a drafty window or two in winter but the roof was restored 2 years ago and will be good for about 20 more years. My 30 year old pick up and my 24 year old S10 may have some sun fade to the dash pieces. But I can look at my land shack and ancient rolling stock and know its all paid for and I already got enough put back to cover the coming property taxes based on the assesment advance notice the tax office mailed me last Friday.

After many years of operation TVA is closing the power plant in New Johnsonville, TN. Originally coal fired and about ten years ago they brought in a large natural gas pipeline. EPA forced the coal issue. Likely isn't unprofitable to run on natural gas only.

They were one of the higher paying jobs in the area.
