One thing about the truth... it isn't always pretty and it isn't always nice, but it IS the truth. Whether we get good news or bad news, I think we all deserve SOME news. If it's good... we can all rejoice and if it's bad news, we can then figure out what we as individuals, or perhaps as a united group can do, but in any case, we all need to know something, so we can move forward with our lives and exercise whatever options are available to us, should any be needed at all.
I see that many have posted their investment amounts and I will also post mine as well. I have $41,000.00 invested and as of the site going down in August, my fund balance was well over $500,000.00. My investment represented EVERY dime I had in savings as well as additional equity. I now know this was really dumb on my part looking back, but at the time it was a great opportunity and I gambled. My family and I have suffered dearly and had it not been for my pleading, begging and negotiations with my mortgage company, I would have lost my house. I am still struggling to make ends meet and I am not "out of the woods" yet as far as keeping my home, but am meerly "treading water."
We all need to get answers one way or another, and if things turn for the worse, we need to find closure and move forward. I am sure I am not speaking alone here when I say the biggest cause of stress, worry and concern is "Not Knowing Anything." I know I'd rather know something and then learn to deal with it, rather than know nothing anything at all. I hope the news is eventually going to be good, but I personally need to prepare myself and family if it isn't.
Thanks again Marek for everything you have done so far and are continuing to do for all of us.
