<\/p>\n
Last year in March I lost my job making 70K as an Account Manager based on a personality conflict with a new manager. It took 2 months for me to find a new job, which paid 50K as a Business Development Rep. After 3 months they let me go as it was a startup and they could no longer afford my salary. From there it took until November for me to get a job in a warehouse picking orders making 45K a year.<\/p>\n
I'm stuck. I don't have a lot of debt, less than 10K, but I can't pay it back. I'm currently selling my house, moved to a 1 bedroom apartment with my wife, borrowed 10K from my parents, but I have $12.00 in my bank account.<\/p>\n
For context, my wife is a small business owner, she makes less than minimum wage in order to keep things afloat for herself , and she owes the Canadian Government 50K in COVID loans this year.<\/p>\n
I have no qualms getting another job, but I'm tired. I'm 31, I'm no longer working in my field, making significantly and I don't know what else to do. I'm depressed, I'm trying my best and my parents\/family are not supportive. They have chastised me for selling my house (which I'll get 100K over what I paid for it thanks for the housing boom) which I'm planning on paying all my debt off with. But it feels like I'm starting at the bottom. I have 10 years experience and it feels like it means nothing.<\/p>\n
So I humbly as you PFC, what do I do? Where do I turn? How do I make this better so I can sleep at night and not feel like such a God damn failure?<\/p>\n
EDIT<\/p>\n
Figures I could add some clarity. I've spent all of my savings paying for my mortgage since March, the house is in need of major repairs which I can't afford. Renting out the house isn't an option as I can't afford to fix anything in there such as the furnace which my insurance agency is demanding I change for further coverage. I just can't afford anything more, I have 10K debt sure, but that doesn't mean I don't have collections calling me because all my money is going towards my mortgage. My wife owns a spa which was opened in 2019 prior to COVID. Had COVID not occurred her salary would not be an issue and I'd rather not lose the 150K we spent in setting her up.<\/p>\n
I have 10 years experience as an account manager in the waste management and environmental fields. SaaS sales is something I've never done, although I've applied for a bunch. I have 2 recruiters and this warehouse job was the only one they could find for me, I'm looking at a few others as I feel this placement was more of a hail Mary for them.<\/p>\n
EDIT 2 i apologize if I snap back at you all, it's been a rough year without stable income, and I've been battling major depression which has gone untreated due to lack of funds for anti depressants and therapy. My back is up against a wall, and I'm trying to be positive but after a year of failure it's hard<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
