I moved from Mi to NC. Sold my house and moved into a 1 bd apt. Ran the lease out on my $40,000 truck and bought a $1200 car. Lived here the first year cold in the Winter, hot in the Summer and eating Ramen 2 meals a day. The only reason I still had things was because of my previous savings. I bought the things that were important to me (bike stuff) and left everything else at the store. I eliminated ALL habits to include Starbucks, etc. I never ate out. As soon as possible, I took a job making HALF of what I made in Mi even though I still had unemployment benefits. I sold frivolous items, believe it or not. No I don't want a medal but I wish that I could make people understand that not being able to keep your $2-300,000 house, 3 cars, 2 bikes, etc, etc, etc is not justification for this type of behavior. I'm honestly tired of hearing this crap!
