Our blog is about keeping builders with growing inventories that are being beaten on by the banks from stepping in it.The sole purpose is to have a place to tell your story and to read those of others. We do not want to bash, but to make a place to see there are others out there. Share the stories and methods that worked and ones that brought on more headaches….the ones that did not. We have lived through some pretty tough scrapes by holding strong. Not wasting precious resources by fighting the institution or defending the act of not paying our obligations, but by showing the aggressors that this is not a market that any one builder or person caused. Showing them that we did not cause this and that we share the problem with the banks. It is up to them to notice that we are not going to just roll over because they beat on us. Stand tall, help your brothers stand tall, and for Petes sake, when they take swings at you, don’t just take it. Push Back.Post your story under one of the topics and share your story, you can remain anonymous but please, take the survey, share some of the tools that worked for you to keep alive.

Bankruptcy

Don’t avoid me.
When you are faced with becoming a dirtbag, I guess you need to sit down with dirtbags to learn. Sorry for being frank…..Fritz, but I get worried when you talk this way.
Let’s break down the problem. Let’s get the right surgeons on the case. Let’s apply the right tools. Nothing worse than getting a checkup, having the nurse (after sitting in the waiting room for hours…) tell you YOU HAVE FINANCIAL CANCER…
Then finding out the person they brought in to operate on you is the same guy that was working at the gas station last week. And his tools? Precision cutting, exacting devices? No, that shit head has a chain saw to operate. You are NOT stewed; you are just stuck in the same market as the rest of us. We ran out of money before the world did, but when we hit zero, and we are all stuck in the market, we are all faced with the same problems. Careful surgery with professionals is the remedy. You will have to go through surgery, then follow with Chemo, and that my friend will make you sick, your hair will fall out, and you will need time to heal. Be good to the family, especially now. Take time to play, talk, plan and become closer to friends and relatives. They have to like you even in tough times!! Go to http://www.operationpushback.com/ and READ all pages. They are humorous, some are for entertainment and parody. Some are very real experiences. All are factual. Go ahead and tell your story, get mad, sign in fritz, we don’t need your name, we need your story. Head high soldier, we are only at Half Time. Round 4 and 5 are coming. We are fighting Mike Tyson. That dude knocked people out in round one.
He hits hard.

Sorry for the late reply. I have not ever dreamed about bankruptcy, let alone looked it in the eye and know I am. I see where I went wrong but it seems to late to do anything about it. You seem to be able to look adversity in the eye on a daily bases and grow from it, I can not. It seems unfair that this can happen to anyone, let alone myself, but it is. Hopefully the up-coming months will not cause me to become stronger not weaker.Fritz
