January 2009: Total Life Savings Down to $58k
Everything is working against me; no matter how strong, how positive, how adaptive, how intelligent or how resourceful I am; I just can’t win.
I spent the last 13 years working VERY hard and building up a net worth of over $2,000,000 (including the business).
A year ago, I had $500,000 in cash, and as of Friday I have $58,000 left thanks to the stock market.
My business is retail, and the average decline in the USA for retailers is 2.7%. We are now down 18%.
In December 2007 my water heater flooded my condo, in December 2008 my bathroom flooded, and then there was a fire on Friday, which fortunately only burned the condo below mine before I heard the alarm and called 911, saving my condo.

I called Amex, they said that they reduced my limit from $15,000 to $4,000 because according to my credit report (which has been flawless for 17 years) I had a debt collection agency reporting that I owed them $4000. I spent all night disputing it on my credit reports, because it’s not mine, but it’s going to take months to remove it.
I’m suing my friend Noah because he owes me $10,000. Now in addition to that, I have to sue the debt collection agency for falsifying information on my credit report. I am also suing my condo association. I can’t handle any more problems!

Sundays Are Always the Loneliest Days

Finished Demolishing the Bathroom
My dad came over Saturday and we brought all of the debris from the bathroom out to my deck and dropped it 2 stories down to the ground into a pile. We tried to put a lot of it into construction trash bags, but it …
Friday
I took down the rest of the walls in the bathroom today. Saturday my dad is coming to help me carry all of the debris out to the dumpster.
I went to work with Kimberly from 3 to 8, and then we went to eat with Fran at the Green Room. They all went out after, and I stayed in and worked on the website.
Kimberly’s friend Maureen said a bunch of her friends saw me in the newspaper and now I have a ‘fan club’! lol
The Economy Continues to Collapse
Woke up today to watch Barack Obamas speech about the failed economy. I was again amazed by his brilliant eloquence and his intelligence. I can’t wait to see what he does for the next 8 years. I worked from 2pm to 1am. Jordan and I …
