Well that was awkward...
I just spent an hour actually, maybe two, on the phone with Jeremy. He is incredibly depressed and in the hole further than ever. Still no steady job, bills stacking up by the truck loads, and he has to sell all of his prized possessions to try and make ends meet. He is also surviving off of his friends in the food department because he cannot afford to buy groceries.
Initially, I felt horrible for him, and still do, but then this evil feeling started to sink in for but a moment; I actually thought to myself "HA! This is your pay back for making my life a living hell!" Then my emotions changed and I realized how ridiculous that thought was and how I really don't feel that way. Yes, the pain sucked, but I had emotional support as well as financial and I would never have wished this upon him.
With that said however, I still believe he made some poor life choices. What is someone doing with THREE cars when they are that in debt? Not to mention one of those cars is inoperable, one can't be driven long distance, and the other is a gas guzzling commuter car. I would have sold at least one of those cars a year into job hunting with out any luck. Maybe I'm not one to talk because I don't have these kinds of valuable things, but three cars seems a bit excessive when you can't pay the bills.
I feel awful for him but there is nothing I can do. In fact I regret talking to him because honestly that conversation just made me worried for not only him, but also myself and my job search. But I will not give up. I must press forward!
