After falling behind on our mortgage payment for six months, my wife and I decided that we had to make a change. I called my brother to talk to him about my options and he generously offered to let us move into his basement for a few years until we can get back on our feet. I was so humbled by his offer. I told him that we would pay rent to him, but he would only let us pay him a couple hundred dollars per month. I reminded him that with four more people in his house, his utility bills were sure to increase. He told me that the energy bill should not be an issue because he has fixed-rate energy that he found out about at www.shopelectricityratestexas.com. We decided that we would get his basement set up and move in at the end of the month. Luckily he only lives a few miles from where we currently live, so our kids will be able to go to the same schools. There are a lot of foreclosed homes in our area right now and it is a shame that we are leaving a house to sit vacant. However, this will give us a chance to save some money and hopefully buy another house in a few years. |

Moving In With Family

JUNK YOUR FURNITURE & GET PAID
Recently, I decided to make some major changes and would be moving South to North Carolina to be with my daughter. She has a newborn and has been having difficulty with securing reliable daycare services. Well, over the years I have accumulated so much in my home and now would be moving into an apartment. My furniture and other items, could easily fill two 3 bedroom apartments. I am definitely not going to throw my stuff away, so I have to find a 2nd Hand Store or sell them. There is no time to sell anything, no and I'm not giving it away.

I had been talking to my girlfriend and she told me that there was a 1800 listing on late night TV and that she would get the information for me. Meanwhile, I started going through the yellow pages. There is so much to choose from, I started getting frustrated because a few I called the companies no longer existed. A few days later, my friend called me and gave me the information for this "Junk Yard". Immediately, I said junk yard my stuff is not going into no junk yard. My furniture and other items mean something to me and I am not sending them to no junk yard. She explained to me that they didn't simply junk your merchandise and that they recycle things that can be recycled. That made me feel a little better, so I called and inquired. Once I spoke to one of the representatives there, I felt that this was the place for me. I wouldn't have to worry anymore about getting rid of my items. The company would come and load up there truck and take the furniture and other items to their location and I would be done. Best of all, I would receive cash for my merchandise.
Everything worked out for the best, I had some extra money to go on my trip and all of my problems of getting rid of my extras was resolved. I would recommend this company to anyone that is moving and wants to downsize their home.
