own my own home (read all 6 entries…)
pulled the trigger 21 hours ago

I contacted a loan officer yesterday about beginning the application process. She ran me though the auto system yesterday, but I was not approved. It was because of those late pay/delinquent accounts of my former husband’s that are still showing up on my credit report. I have taken care of this by paying the bank a settlement to remove my name from the notes, but they have not come off my credit report as of yet. I cannot accept the fact that I won’t get this loan. I just cannot. I have to be able to buy this house. There is just no other option. I don’t want to move my kids yet again for the 3rd year in a row. We are so settled in here, I just don’t want to do it to them or to me, for that matter. I have to make this work some how. I am going to stay positive and just assume that it is going to work. It has to work.



add money to my savings every month
I am 21 hours ago

I am doing this right now, but it’s all money that will go to my down payment if I get to buy my house. I have found out that my bank will let you have a no fee savings account if you set up a auto transfer from your checking. I have avoided the bank savings program because you have to have a minimum $400 balance to avoid a monthly $4 fee. To me, this means you have to give the bank $400 of your money to hold that you can never touch or it’ll cost you more than you can earn in interest in a whole year. Anyway, now that I know about this other program, that’s what I’m going to do as soon as my home purchase is complete.

2. My stuff on ebay is selling.
3. I’m reasonably healthy and so are my children.
4. I get to sleep all night without crying babies or children with special needs that get me up at all hours.
5. I truly have everything I need.
