Is there a bottom?

[bravo61]

where i'm right now: was just presented a tax bill i can't pay. found out if the XW had waited till the new year (2015) the difference would have been @7k. we would have gotten a return to split.

i was not in the best frame of mind emotionally when i started my new job. i was told the other day that i'm on "thin ice" and could be fired at any time with no union protection.

the XW just bought a townhouse. we had a plan when she moved here. when the house sold, i was gonna take the profit and with my retirement, we would have had around $100k to put down on a new house. don't see how i'll ever recover financially from this. for years i paid almost double to keep debts low or pay them off. i'm living in a crappy apartment that costs almost double what my home mortgage was in addition to child support. now add a tax payment plan along with credit card bills and i'm officially done.

i know it should pass but i'm feeling pretty hopeless right now.
