Good Bye
Well I've enjoyed Wealthy Affiliate! I have not made a penny in a year, but that could be my fault. Kyle and Carson have a GREAT idea, but it does not appear to work for everyone, at least me! If anyone knows of a way to get out of serious debt that is a legal and legit way, let me know.
My yearly membership is about to expire on September 14, 2013 and I can not afford to renew. I did sell my car recently, but that amount will barely put a dent in what we owe.
Our debt seems to keep adding up. We adopted 2 children from Russia in 2001 and thought we could make a difference for two children, but bills keep adding up and most of our resources went to adopt the children. There were some IRS tax breaks for a few years, but those are now gone. I have a good paying job, but 20 plus years of credit card use has started to add up. The problem is being stuck in the rut where all the money you make has to pay the credit cards and the mortgage and other bills, then you find yourself having to use the credit cards to buy your food and it isn't steaks and potatos, usually fish sticks with mac and cheese and an occasional pot roast! My wife has tried to reenter the work force after raising the adopted children, but her first position dried up after the family she was helping watch their elderly mother, decided to move her with a sister. The next job, they gave her 2 days to learn their check out procedure on the cash registers at a Landscaping business and let her go.
I'm not sure what is in the stars, but things appear to be going "south". I've tried selling some of my items on eBay and they don't sell, except for my car on eBay motors last month.
I contemplated a second job, but I already work 40 hours for the railroad and have a 2 hour round trip to get to work and back every day. I have two rest days, but usually use those to fix everything around the house.
I know my days are pretty much numbered (approaching 60), and really found out last month when I came upon a poor guy laying on the road. I could not figure out what had happened until a early morning walker was on the scene told me he was on a motorcycle and hit a deer. When I approached the man, he was laying on the other side of the road with alot of blood running from his head, I furiously dialed 911, but I noticed as I was talking to the dispatcher his whole body twitched and then nothing. I knew he was dead. The walkers saw the accident and handled it, I continued on to work, but was sure he had died. Later that night on the news they reported he died at the scene. It is hard to get over seeing someone die and there was nothing I could do!
Hope everyone some success!

I agree with graymar. Life is hard and it isn't easy for me either I can't figure out how to link my pages to my affiliate. I can put the widgets on there but I can't figure out how to just link a word. I have thought about quitting several times. I will pray for you. I know the Lord can bring us both through this. God bless you and your family. We have to trust him. You have your hands full let Jesus carry some of your burden and I'll practice what I preach. He is good!
I know you don't know me, but, please don't give up. The Lord can bring you through your trials. He helps me. I will be praying for God to deliver, bless and keep you & your family.
I wish you the very best for the future. I know it must seem incredibly difficult to see a bright future somewhere at this moment in time, but with the incredible emotional response you are capable of it will happen. Keep trying with Internet marketing, using what you have learned so far. If you need any help with IM, I am not an expert but my email is hudsonrickman@ gmail.com

I am a new member so I do not know you...but I wish you the best. You sound like you have a really good heart. Have you tried debt consolidation or credit counseling? I had to declare bankruptcy when I was 21 so I know the feeling. The phone calls, the stress. Anyway best of luck to you and your family.
As far as your debt is concerned, I would look into the Dave Ramsey course. We hosted it at our church and was a tremendous success for many people. You can find a class near you online. I would also speak affirmations of success instead of failure because the tongue is a powerful weapon. Don't give up most businesses fail within their first five years. you may just need more training and there is a lot of free training online that can help your online business become a success. Good luck
My friend, Meredith, said it. We hate to see you go and I wish the best to you and yours. John
I just want to wish you all the very best and stay as positive as you can manage, man. What you've done adopting your kids is awesome and I sincerely hope things turn around for you and your wife.
I'm trying to think of some words that I could say to give you some comfort, What you have been through is terrible. You did your best to try and save another human being. You and your wife opened Your Hearts and gave the Best Gift Any child could have, your home and your family.
I hear a Whole Lot of Good in YOU! I wish you could stay but, I understand. Please, don't give up and I Hope you can make it back to WA someday. God Bless and Take Care!
Don't give up! Hang in there with us!
