Back in 2009, we got a one time bonus at work to compensate for having to pay more for our benefits. So, from 2009 to 2010, I actually made less money. Which has apparently confused my bank and I found out I have to produce a written statement explaining this to them. It’s yet another roadblock that has been shoved in front of me. It’s like they just really don’t want to give me a loan.
It’s frustrating. Every time I get done jumping through the hoops, there are suddenly more hoops. And some of those are on fire.
After this latest hitch, I found myself thinking, “If I knew then, what I know now, I wouldn’t be buying the house,”. And if I could have bailed out without making things so much worse, I would have just given up on the house. It’s been that frustrating. And all the fun has been sucked out of the process.
Insert head shaking here.
