Help Pack Save His Tank

Well, the worse has happened. As of the start of this week, I am now unemployed. I am trying furiously to do everything I can, but with our counties unemployment rate at 20%, the job market is like a ghost town to say the least. I am desperately trying not to sell the biggest luxury I have (my tank), but it's not looking good.
Well, I am usually above whining in self pity. But, I am not above shamelessly plugging my E-Bay sales! ;D
eBay Seller: cravenmoorehead666: Video Games, Musical Instruments items on eBay.com

I will be adding a lot more items soon. Mostly music gear and military items. Maybe a few more video games.

 

I am actually selling old things on ebay too to keep my reef healthy and going well..

 

I feel ya man, thats why my 125build is going so slow I been out of work for 3 months now. Been selling other stuff to buy the things i need for my build.

 

Sorry to hear about your job Pack. Good thoughts going your way!!!

 

Pack,I just sold mine 3 days ago on craigs for the same exact reason,plus baby is due dec 17th.As much as I hated to do that,Things will hopefully get better soon(but i'm wondering)And the next time(after all of 3reefs great peoples help)I'll be back with a vengence.I'm sorry to vent as well ,but wanted you to know your not alone in your decision,Sometimes a person has to do what they have to do.Best of luck in finding work soon.

 

Sorry to hear that you lost your job, I know the feeling. I dont know about your whole situation, but I have been unemployed for nearly a year and my tank has never looked better. I filed for unemployment the day I got laid off. The job market in Cali really sucks. I could find a minimum wage job but that wouldnt even cover the cost of after school care for my daughter. So I am a job seeker, stay at home dad, collector of unemployment which pays enough for us to get by with my wifes added income. For me it really has been a good thing. Now if the world would end before my unemployment runs out I would really be set. In reality my tank has pretty much been paying for itself through selling frags and trading for store credit. I was even able to upgrade my lights and skimmer. I was suprised at how many ways there are to save money if you really look into it. We had to downsize where we lived and what we drove, sell off the car we had payments on= cheaper insurance. Im pretty sure if you put your mind to it you will be able to keep your tank. Just dont eat as much? Walk where you can instead of drive? Public transportation? A lot of people have made the same adjustments. For me this has been a great test of my personality and seeing if I can hold everything together when I felt like my world was falling apart. I survived and you will to. good luck.

 

Sorry to hear it Pack--Unfortunatly you are not alone...I wish you and yours the best. I hope the country is enjoying this Hope and Change they all voted for!!

 

Sorry my friend! This is not a good thing! Dont give it away. Make sure if you are getting rid of things you gont get hosed though!

 

Very sorry to hear about your job Hopefully you find something new soon.

I would probably start weeding out spare or unused equipment to pay for the tank or other bills, but try and hold off on selling the big display:-/

I would buy need for speed shift from you if it were for PS3

 

Sorry to hear about your job. But instead of being down about it, try to think of it as a great opportunity to try something else; maybe something you've always dreamed about doing but couldn't at the time. Best wishes!
