Pretty heart breaking to be honest. I've never been so depressed
It's hard when you are up there in years trying to find any kind of job (despite you have a lot of experience, skills and a degree) and have worked in the professional world in various areas that an employer can use those skills and talent, because even though it against the law to discriminate due to age, employers will still do it even if you are well qualified for the position.
I am about to lose everything…my apartment, and my teenage kids will have to move in with their dad while I live for free in a friend’s basement and keep waiting to find a job one day. I used to make 6 figures as an independent contractor (proposal specialist) but work stopped coming. I’ve applied to everything I can find including restaurants, retail, customer service, any office job, and of course jobs that I’m very qualified and experienced. I’ve gotten a handful of interviews over the past year but I can see their large stack of applicants on the table and I suspect they go with a friend of a friend or I’m a decent 2nd or 3rd choice but not number one… or maybe they change their minds about hiring at all for whatever reason. I feel so hopeless. 47 years old, 16 years of good experience and college degrees. How did I get here? I worked so hard. How am I losing everything? What will my kids think of me? Will they even ever talk to me again. 😩😭
I’ve tried door dashing but it’s not even close to enough to pay for an apartment for me and 3 teenagers plus utilities and groceries.
I have 30 days before eviction.
20 days before the power gets shut off.
I feel completely helpless to stop it.
I’ve already used every backup emergency fund I had. My credit is ruined but that’s the least of my worries now
