… anyone ever filed for bankruptcy?
The division of my company that I work for (MA based company, offices throughout the NE) took a gamble on a NYC office but has decided to fold the NY operation and I haven’t been here long enough to get any real severance. If anyone recalls my sob story from 2 years ago, I had only just started to dig myself out of debt and get things moving in a positive direction and frankly, this is about as devastating a blow as could have come. We just moved into a house (rent) in NJ to be closer to my work, we’ve got medical bills from Henrik’s birth, car payments, etc.
I’m currently considering surrendering both vehicles waiting for the invoice on the owed amount and then declaring bankruptcy to discharge the debt because I don’t know how I’m going to pay next months rent, let alone anything else, right now.
Y’all business owners? I’m multi-talented, I’m sure I can be useful. Man, I really f***ed up not doing my full 20 in the Air Force. It’s been struggle after struggle since… I get why veteran suicide rates are so high. No, not me. Not saying that. I’ve got Henrik and the Mrs and another season of futility to look forward to, my health, good family, etc. but with my post-military experience so far, it’s easy to see how those with less end up in a really bad place.
Apologies for the massively off-topic poor me post. HFNYR is the closest thing to a friend circle I have since leaving the military and I’m honestly just floored by the news I’ve just received that we’re going to close the NY office. If anyone needs someone disappeared, a cool 10k really changes my life right now, ya know?

Time for some rot gut, budget whiskey and a very somber night with the missus once I get off the train. Holy hell.
