Well here is my story that I would like to share with you all.When I was about 15 years old I got a job working with my sister at this telemarketing room in Clearwater,Florida and I mean the money was fast easy.And not to mention I was staying with my pops so I really didn't have any worries, then came the day that the room we were working for closed down, so you know what that means....I had to find another job and I did. It was also telemarketing too with this job I was making about 1,000 a week under the table (meaning they weren't taking taxes out and just giving me money in my hand)well the money was easy and I sure did appreciate it,but I was always the type who loved to blow my money on shopping sprees and things I didn't need because I was spoiled and I guess that was the Leo in me as you have heard if you read up on horoscopes,Leos are naive, and love fancy things,but we are good friends though.Well anyways my dad rented a apartment in his name for me and my ex-boyfriend, and that didn't work out to well cause after 3 or maybe 4 months being there we got evicted!so then we moved back to my father's house and i got a new job and was working for a new telemarketing agency and me and my ex split up. but he was still staying at my father's house, and that's when I met dave my kid's father i got pregnant in 1999 and had my daughter Devanae. I went to Jcpenny Outlets got a job and was only making $6.25 a hour just enough to get by i worked there for about 6 months and got pregnant again and went to HSN I worked there for a Little bit and then had my son Davon,in 2002 that was the year I desperatly needed more and more money. So I was doing something called uttering forged documents the money was fast and easy and I thought I would never get caught till the day I went to cash a fraudulent check at a mom and pop store.Now mind you I was still pregnant when I got caught and got arrested and got on probation well I was with the wrong crowd one day and got arrested again,violated my probation and when I went back to court my job sentenced me to 6 months county time I got pregnant again in 2002 5 months after I had davon and went to jail served 4 months county time and got out a month before I had davon. I had my apartment that dave was keeping up for me till I got out of jail and when I got out of jail stayed in the apartment for 8 months, I doing bad on public assistance and then my babies father came up with this brilliant idea for us to move in a apartment in Tampa that his cousin leased. Well that wasn't a good idea because come to find out his cousin hadn't payed his bills and department of children and families got involved they took my kids put them in a foster home for 2 months because we started living in a hotel and after 2 months they were in foster care my father and his wife got them I was going from pillow to post, and finally got a job moved in with my brother and before I knew it everything was back on track when I moved I was pregnant with my fourth child Davion and had him 2-1-2005 still living in my apartment i feel into a financial bind and started taking out payday loans.And eventually before I knew it dug myself into the bind that I am in now. My message to you is that if you have the money to pay bills on time do it! And also if it seems like it is getting to rough never give up cause as you can see I have been through alot in my life.And although we learn from our mistakes try the best not to repeat them over again.And things that happen may not be for the best but it could be alot worse take it from me....

I know I can make it anybody can if they put their minds to it I refuse to be down to the bottom I rather be at the top cause I have high standards for myself.And I encourage eveyone to be like that cause no matter what you go through and how hard it gets and the road may be tough but there is always hope just put your mind to it and things will eventually work out.Because no matter how hard it gets and how much of a struggle you go through just remember there is someone who may be going through worse!

What makes me happy in life is my children and thanking god everyday that i wake up and I am still here living and being happy is what makes me happy!What makes me sad is that I have money problems but I try my best not to let that bring me down because life and living is all that matters and just helping people and being there for people we only have one life to live!And i try to think about positive outcomes instead odf being negative.I think that is a good topic that you brought up devin but like i said life in general makes me happy and my kids!

Chmartinbaby,Im glad you have seen the error of your ways and are doing everything you can to get control of your life,and be with your children.The world is so different now then it was when I was growing up.I have never gotten in trouble with the law,and I waited to have children until I was in my late 20's,but yet here we are both in the same situation with our debt,barely able to make ends meet.We all come from many different walks of life,but by making just a few bad decisions,we end up the same.I wish you the best of luck,and I know things will work out for you,keep thinking positive and good things will follow.My kids are my saving grace,and I dont think I could make it through this mess without them.My prayers and best wishes are with you.

Thank you and I will continue doing what I am doing and praying to the lord to forgive me for all my sins and keep giving the love and thanks to my children and family and friends for helping me overcome my problems and the love of everyone and I think that if I keep following in the footsteps that I have been doing it I will overcome eveything!

ch, I wish you the best of luck, and i hope you get your children back soon, once you get them back you will be full of joy and happiness. We all make mistakes and learn from them. Remember health is most important, you will see that you will get back on track financially soon. I went through a very hard financial situation these past two years after loosing my home with Hurricane Wilma and my dad passing away also, and thanks to god we are getting back on track at this moment. I wish you the best of luck and enjoy your children!!

Kate
