What Now?

My daughter's father has been unemployed for over 2 years. He just drifted along, not really looking for work and living off his girlfriend and unemployment. Well, she moved out and unemployment ended so NOW he's looking for a job. Without warning, he didn't make a payment for February and now it's the same thing in March. I'm using my tax refund to cover but what happens in April? or May? It stinks and I worry...some. The reality is, I can lose my home, my credit will be shot but it's all material. Really? Is that the worst thing that can happen to anyone? NO! I told my children, I couldn't care less anymore about "stuff". As long as I have a roof over our heads (even if it isn't mine) and can provide for them...I'm ok. SO lets see what happens. I already work 2 jobs and have asked to pick up extra shifts. I'm going to start taking stuff to consignment shops, have a yard sale, sell my plasma (OK, cancel the last one - I hate needles), etc. I will do everything I can to hold on but I won't be afraid of this ride - I just won't.
