Consolidation loans
We discovered that since David worked
with a finance company, the other finance companies in town were very willing
to make consolidation loans. We took out
a consolidation loan.
At about this time, David’s mother
offered to sell us one of the cars we were driving. We included that in the first consolidation
loan. We also paid off the local bank
with the loan.
Trade in Car
The car we purchased had a fuel leak
and was costing more and more to maintain.
Suzanne’s father, who was a top-notch mechanic, kept it running as best
anyone could. We decided to trade that
car and purchase a Ford Festiva.
The new car was great and got excellent
gas mileage. It was so good, in fact,
that Suzanne thought we should take on a newspaper route in the early morning
to make more money and pay off bills.
We were assigned two routes that were
side-by-side. One was in a terrible
neighborhood and the other was in a great neighborhood. We discovered that the paper routes did not
really pay very much, but we could improve on the money we made by placing Avon
and Tupperware books in with the newspapers.
We also added Amway. Adding these books with the newspapers was
quite successful.
Suzanne’s job with the friend fizzled
out. We moved to a less expensive house
in a less than desirable part of town.
