Personal Narrative Analysis

In 2008 I was living a fairy tale. I relocated from Indiana to Georgia. Within a year I had 5 credit cards and new home and car. I got engaged to my middle school sweetheart. We purchased our first house which my father prepared my for ever since I was 18 years old. My co-worker suggested using a realtor that she previously used. We meeting with the realtor and go over general information. Within 2 weeks the realtor advises us we was approved for the loan. Which I knew the process and had several questions about related to the approval amount and process. We did not select the bank and I know the approval amount was not correct due to our salaries. With my doubts in mind I continue to trust the loan officer and my realtor. When you are living a fairy tale

I received a phone call from the loan officer offering me a job if I did not accept the job from my realtor. We went forth with purchasing the home within the first mortgage payment we realized we was in over our head. During this time it was the financial crisis in America. I tried several time to contact the realtor and the loan officer no responses. My current job my salary was not enough to pay half of the mortgage. I searched every day for a new job with a high salary. I contacted the bank and other agency for help on reducing my mortgage rate. America was in shock during this time due to the down fall of the economy. When I contacted the bank I was on hold for hours and never reached anyone. I wrote letters to the bank tried several time to meet with someone in person. After months of trying to resolve the issues I went into depression and moved back to Indiana. The house went into foreclosure and I no longer had a fairy-tale life. This situation was a life lesson for me. I gather every resource possible to take control of my life. By going to financial classes, foreclosure seminars, community outreach programs and church. I almost gave up and finally I was contacted by a foreclosure advocate
