SO the other day I am driving to work. I realized I left a bit too early so I decided to call my dad to see how he is doing. Plus he bitches that I don't call him enough, so it worked out. He tells me he is stressed out. I ask why. He says....
"We lost our house."
WTF
HOW do they lose their house?!?! He says something about a loan modification not going through...something something....he saw it coming....didn't pay their mortgage for a few months ...some dude bought their house in an auction and they have 30 days to get out and find a new place to live and they cannot own a place for two years so they must rent. WHAT!?!?
First of all, who stops paying their mortgage!!? Of course he should have seen that coming. If I stopped paying my rent, obviously I'd be evicted. He said it was "part of the way to get the new loan" Huh? I don't know anything about loans, but that surely does not make sense to me. I am pissed about it, and of course feel awful for them and worried. They are over 50 years old. You would think they would have their shit together. But no. This is another reason I decided to pack up my shit, put Jasper in the front seat of my car, find a roommate on Craigslist, and move all the way to Washington. I cannot handle their shit. They are so irresponsible I do not, and will not ever understand it!!
This is not the first time it has happened either, you'd think they would have LEARNED.
First time something like this happened, I was three years old and didn't have a clue why mommy and daddy were packing up everything out of our mobile home and sneaking out in the wee morning hours. Found out years later, they went bankrupt and deserted the mobile home then moved into an apartment.
Then we have 2008 when they lose their home in La Verne because of weird loan crap and had to move way out to Corona to rent a home where they later got an eviction notice because they person they were paying rent to didn't make the mortgage payments and pocketed the money. Now that I think of it, maybe they just weren't paying rent?? Things are so shady with them. So they had to again pack up their shit and move to Rancho. Where I thought for sure they would not let something like this happen again. It is not like they have a small house with a small amount of items to just be packing up fast and moving out. They live in luxury and every house they get is a fucking mansion. Which also doesn't make sense. AND my dad makes around 200,000 dollars a year and is -always- broke. Weird?? How is that possible? I have questioned them for years and I still do not get a solid answer from them. Also, how do you have literally no money when you aren't even paying your mortgage? And, why are you keeping the fact that you aren't paying your mortgage a secret from your daughter? Why was I getting phone calls from my Dad last month telling me he had to cut me out of the family plan for our cell phones because he couldn't afford it anymore? I don't mind getting on a plan with my husband and paying my own cell phone bill, but it really doesn't make sense why he is having trouble making those payments. It worries me. What happens when they retire? My dad cannot work forever. He -will- have a heart attack the way he is going and how he lives his life, his diet, etc. Then what? I know, for a sad and depressing fact that he will not outlive my mother and I will have to take my mother in because she is helpless and won't know how to live another day on this planet without him. And you would think he would set up something. Make sure that if he does leave this planet before her that she will be set. But no. They have nothing. Not even a house investment. Sigh. The one thing I have learned from them is what NOT to do in life, especially financially. Jesus. H. Christ!
