I am a federal contractor. I was told to stop work when the government shut down.
On October 23, Pegasus Residential said they weren’t renewing my lease. We must move by mid-December. Today, they sent a 3 Day Notice to Vacate.
Our ACA insurance is rising from $368/mo to $1496 in January.

Discovered that a car title loan on a 2021 Nissan Armada Platinum is a max of $2800 with a payoff of $3960 in 30 days or they take the car. 😳🤬
I need to be in DC on Monday or lose the job that has not paid me much since October.
The whole system is broken. It’s a death spiral once it starts..

I have to be in DC this week at Dept. of Ed. I have to travel out of pocket and be reimbursed. I have no money.
I’m off to try a title loan on my car so I can learn in person we’re being laid off by DOL where we’re being transferred.
Wish me luck.

I feel this deeply in my soul.
I’ve tried not to blame Pegasus Residential or McCann Realty Partners, or even the lady property manager here. But today, as I sit here sobbing, contemplating shelters for the pets and living in my car with my teenager?
I blame them all.
