I am a little confused, because those refinanced mortgages are near impossible to get and you actually got one! I would be thrilled. Are you upset because now you can't afford Christmas because you don't have your credit cards? I hope not - you may just find this is the best Christmas you ever had. One where the bills you couldn't afford, actually don't show up in January. :D - It is nice to buy presents and help out the less fortunate [we have done this too] but not at the risk of going into debt to do it. <br /> <br />I don't understand how you could be embarrassed by the bank person telling you what you needed to do to get back on your feet. I think it is fabulous. I remember when we bought our first home and they told us we would have to sell one of our vehicles [the one with a car payment] because our debt load was too high with it AND we had no credit cards at the time. We sold that sucker as fast as we could and moved in a little over a month later. What a great feeling to have a home.<br /> <br />You should be VERY proud of yourself for doing the responsible thing and nixing those cards and easing the worries of you & your husband. It may not be the most abundant Christmas of years past, but it sure will be a very, very filled one, won't it. <br /> <br />Christmas is one day, with a lot of meanings outside of gifts, but living and being able to rest easy, in your own home is a year round gift.<br /> <br />Take care and try to smile. You've done a great job!SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.com
