The Day God Threw Me A Curve Ball on A 3-2 Count and Struck Me Out!
by: Carrie Ramalho
I thought to myself what else could possible go wrong? I have had turmoil almost my whole life but this I thought was the end. We hit a brick wall going 50 mph. My husband just found out his management job was going to end, you heard it before, the Company was bought out by a bigger company and the site where you work will be shut down. It was June of 2005; my husband no longer had a job. This affected our entire family, not only financially, but also emotionally.
We continued on struggling the entire time. Remember, previously he was in a management position making a fairly decent salary, now that amount was dropped in half. Although our bills remained the same they didn't drop in half. Of course I still worked the 9-5, He had a temporary job with a staffing agent. He was on unemployment for 6 months first. He worked that job for a year then the contract ended. You might me wondering, if he was a manager before why is it so hard to find a decent management job again. Well The position he was in, we had worked his up the cooperate ladder, he does not have BA. Therefore trying to get a decent paying job was very trying.
SO, back to my story, his contract ended in Nov. 2006; he applied at my employer as a purchasing specialist. That job lasted about a month.
He had been having severe pain in his neck and left arm. He had been seen for this many times before, but now it was different. We made an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon for a consult. His appointment was on 12/06/06. The surgeon told us that surgery was the only answer, otherwise he could end up paralyzed. We were floored, SURGERY oh my goodness. The Dr. told us he would have to have 3 level fusion in his neck. Basically they would use two metal plates and bone from his hip and screw them together.
I was very optimistic coming from a medical background I knew the benefits would out way the risk. Besides my Husband was only 39 years old he would recover fast and well.
So surgery happened on 1/23/07, keep in mind I'm the only one with an income. We have two children a mortgage and car payments. We applied for Social Security Disability, I thought for sure we would be fine. My husband could stay home and recover from this major surgery and we would have checks coming in from Social Security a long with my income.
I could not have any more wrong!
We were denied by Social Security, therefore he has no income what so ever. We are struggling more than ever, with our bills.
It has been 7 months since his surgery!
I have the answer to my prayers, its like God gave me a second chance at bat, this time only throwing me good fast balls that are easy to hit. I have learned a system that allows me to stay home with my husband and two children and make more money than both of us together have ever made. It does take time to learn and you have to be dedicated or you will fall. The best advice I can give is first remember where I came from, the bottom of a very deep hole, to being able to fill in the hole with concrete as to never being there again. Have an open mind, be positive, be patient (I SURELY HAVE), and enjoy life. My motto is why let life run you, run you’re own life. So please don't think you are the only one that has been struck out I have been there, now I only hit home runs, you too can benefit from this system just give it a chance to work for you.
For these reason and many others I have chosen to stay homes with my family and create wealth for years to come. I am able to sleep in, go on vacation without limits, watch my children grow, become a better partner to my spouse, and last but not least have FREEDOM from the 9-5. So has you can see I have chosen the path that fits me and the lifestyle I have always wanted, hopefully you too can get the same results. So here is the answer to your prayers,
