I worked through my last financial hurdle, and was able to pay my rent. While I am not unemployed, I am underemployed and am not making enough to fully take care of my financial obligations. August - December are dry months, and if I can just make it to January, I'll be ok. I don't know if I'll make it though. I'm having a really hard time finding a stable job. I seem to be in that "time warp" off too old and too experienced. I've even been turned down at Starbucks! I read an inspiring story about a downsized executive who couldn't find a job similar to what he had before, and ended up applying and getting a job at Starbucks that he now has found so gratifying. So I toodled down to my local Starbucks to inquire and apply. They had openings, but I wasn't chosen. So, now I'm $500 short for my November financial obligations. If you can help with all or part, I would be so appreciative.
