Hi all. It's been awhile since I havve posted. I have pretty much run out of money. I worked on a 1099 in 2009. I just made the first pass on my taxes, and I will owe over $8k (ouch). Also needed to buy a new computer for my livelihoood. At least I got that expense in in 2009. I'm already late on my home equity loan. Primary mortgage loan default may follow soon. I'm considering declaring bankruptcy too. My nexty step is to speak with an attorney about what options are best for me. In the meantime, I'm liquidating the contents of the house and have moved into my girlfriend's condo.

On a good note. I have an interview for a real job this Friday. If I get it, it may pay as little as 50% of what I made at my peak, but I'll have steady work, benefits, and the opportunity to enhance skills that could be leveraged for something better in the future.
