A sale may actually be better than giving it up and going through the hassle.... But seriously I would fight through it if I was you and try and just go super tight on your budgeting. Also getting professional help may be an important thing :(. I wish you best of luck! Hey Cookie, that is a tough situation.

We also have a 2nd mortgage. The total payments are 900 a month and 320 for 2nd mortgage. When we bought this house our payment was $725.00 a month. This includes taxes and insurance. These expenses have gone up as you can see and making our payments go up. Now the house needs improvements done. We don't have the money to do it. The back porch needs to be redone, certain ceiling spots, around the doors, etc. We are under bankruptcy and are thinking about giving this house up. Its taking all our money. What do you think. We live in Atoka Tennessee, about 30 miles north of Memphis Tenn. Most rent is at least 700 a month up. I want to know what you think about this. We need a new heating system also. I need a better vehicle which I can't afford right now. Please send me your suggestion. Thanks Cookie Me and my husband have been in our home for 14yrs. We also have a 2nd mortgage.

Yes one thing I did not cover was startup and moving costs.... If this outweighs a few years of savings then it may well be worth staying put. If you don't have much stuff and could stay with friends or even somewhere like a youth hostel when you arrive in a new city then even startup is easy to handle without too much money going down the drain.... But with a family, that is where it gets really difficult! Studio 6 sounds like a great idea and it's something I should consider if I ever move to the states full time. Hey Megan,

If one works online, finding the best location to live in (with all factors considered, not just rent) is more of an issue. But you or another household member's work is offline, then, like you said, one often doesn't have the same choices. The start-up costs of relocation can be quite heavy, what with deposits and move in fees. Plus, if you are moving to a new city, you might like to see the place you are moving into before you make a commitment. One way of dealing with this might be to use an extended stay hotel while you find the best place to live in the new city. If you are moving to one of the cities which has a Studio 6 (which is run by the same people as Motel 6, but for long term stays, and with full studio setups, kitchen and all) then you can find pretty good prices ($30 to $40 per day usually). Then you can have a bit more time to find a good new home or apartment. .-= Megan´s last blog ..<a href="http://thegreenbeanblog.com/seven-fall-and-winter-organic-skin-care-tips/" rel="nofollow">Seven Fall and Winter Organic Skin Care Tips</a> =-.
