As some of you know Linda was one of the victims of my company getting screwed over in the fall of 2014. She started with the company at the same time as me back in August 1997. She was let go mid 2015 from a job where she was making over $50K a year with full benefits.

Immediately after we had to start paying $500 so she'd have healthcare and then it took her over a year to find a job that's only part time, at minimum wage, and with zero benefits. That along with the 30% pay cut I had to agree to to keep my job has been killing us and was putting a big dent in our retirement saving every month just to pay the bills.

The refi I did recently helped. And today Linda got a full time job at $5 more than minimum and full health, dental, and vision. Phew.

TLDR

Linda got a job!!!!!
