The Battle of the Mortgage

103 46
You're mortgage payment is looming, the electric power board is past due, and you're wondering how long you can drive your car on those worn-out tires! You need to earn some money-extra money.
Gas is so expensive and because of those worn out tires, it would be nice if you could make extra money at home and leave that smooth running automobile parked in the driveway.
Besides, you can't afford a baby sitter because that would require even more income.
The computer is just sitting there, and you pay every month for your internet provider, so why not put it to work to earn some extra money.
Computers don't use gas, and they don't need new tires every 12,000 miles to stay road worthy.
So limber up your fingers and the second half of your brain and key in some income producing strategies.
Just stay there at home and you won't have to hire a babysitter.
Best to be paid for what you are probably already doing, maybe you just alter the pathway somewhat, and who knows, you may run into some pleasant surprises along the way.
Ring, ring-the telephone, why now you ask? You wrap up your thoughts, grab the phone and answer a rude collection call.
You explain you know the mortgage payment is late, but you're planning to pay it before it becomes due again.
No you can't write them a check by phone right now, if you could you would have already done so.
Yes you do plan to pay it within the next week or two, but you don't know the exact date.
You are working at home to make extra money and haven't you heard the economy is in the dumps? Goodbye, and please don't call back because I can assure you it will be paid.
You know your emergency fund is in place if you just have to use it to avoid a gig on your credit report.
You have thirty days and you're only into the first week-why don't they give you a break? At least you're not in a crowded office with thirty colleagues to listen to you explain why your mortgage payment late.
Back to the computer because you know the extra money you're trying so hard to earn at home lies there-in.
What's that dog barking about? A glance out the window tells you the Postman just drove up to the mailbox.
Your mind races to the check coming for the article you reviewed last week-best to be paid for something you love doing anyway.
So you jump up and scat to the mail box.
You're back inside and Bingo! The return addresses reveals the check is in your hand.
With the extra money you've won the mortgage payment battle! But wait a minute, what was that letter from the city? Something tells you to check it out.
So you fumble around for the letter opener.
What? An increase in property taxes, no not property taxes but-come on now-storm water taxes? You suppose the city figures it's best to be paid for something they have no control over anyway!
