Bad Choices
In 2008, I experienced a financial disaster. I was losing my home and had lost my car due to the real estate crash that hit Florida like a demolition ball. It left me eating at my savings. There were no jobs that I was qualified for since I had been in the real estate and mortgage business for a good seven years. The housing industry summed up my experience and was all I had on my resume that was current. Everyone who had been in this industry was out looking for jobs.
