Letters to Hope

So, guess what? The construction people lets now call them “construction people who did not pay me” have not paid me in well over a month.

Stiffed: $600 — They Never Communicate with Each Other

They owe me $600.00. I knew it was coming I should have treated them like “Wacko Dentist” but I did not think they were crazy.

I kept telling them over and over again that hey were mismanaging there money. They had A LOT of overdraft charges because they were not communicating with me. Through all of it, they were very nice and just thought it would all work out but I saw the end.

I ran into the wife in the grocery store and she was practically crying all over the place when I saw her. She kept apologizing saying that she now had to pull her kids out of school that her husband would not get out of bed. I felt bad for her but not bad enough to excuse the bill.

STOP SPENDING MONEY — Read the Signs

I told her she could pay me $20.00 per week if she wanted as long as she worked on paying me back. I found out that she screwed the guy that was doing her Kitchen out of thousands of dollars and that made me feel even less pitty for her.

She knew this was coming and yet they all kept doing it and spending money like there was not issue. People who do not learn from LARGE warning signs and people spelling it out for them do not really get my pity. I can totally understand if you were not aware or did not get proper support but I told them months ago STOP SPENDING MONEY. Their kids were spoiled beyond belief.

Pay Attention, Hope: Here is a Lesson for You

Honey I am going to give you an education before I give you a new doll on the shelf. I am not going to show you love by gifts but by hard work on your part and mine.

I do not (or I try very hard not to) sweep issues under the rug thinking they will go away, especially with money. Everyone is in a small sense in denial for a little while but then it is time to wake up and realize what you have to do.

My mom taught me that from the start and I hope that I will be able to teach you that as well.
