"I have a large sum of money in the bank but I can't use it" read my story...
I am going to provide as brief a story as I can because I don't want this to sound like a sob story and I feel sorry for myself kind of line.... It is very real and very hard to cope with.
I met someone and we purchased a home together (1/2 share each) and this is where my story truly begins...
The home was only 7yrs old when we purchased it, in August 2006 and we had a qualified builder do a pre-purchase inspection for us but to our horror we discovered in August 2008 that we have what is called a "leaky home". It is a huge problem here in New Zealand and everyday there are more and more home owners who are discovering that they too have a home that is rotting down around them.
The causes of this are many - from shoddy workmanship, cheap building materials, poor design and changes in Government regulations that allowed materials to be used that don't stand the test of time and also Territorial Bodies whose inspectors failed to do a good job in signing off the homes as being built to the code.
The Government realised they needed to do something to help so they created an Act to cover this issue and set up a department to handle the claims process but you actually have to employ legal council and expert witness' to fight to get compensation and the money you spend employing the legal team, you can't claim back from the respondents to your claim, if you are successful. It is money you will never see again, hence the post title "I have over $70,000.00 in the bank but none of it is mine"! It is true I have this amount of money in the bank, it was meant to be my nest egg, the money I was relying on until I was making a comfortable income from the internet, but now I cannot use that money as it is needed to pay the legal team.
Now you may be saying...."you have a partner" and yes I do, but I do not rely on my partner for financial support, we work a little differently to most relationships and we share expenses but not a shared bank account. I didn't feel comfortable with that, it was my decision, so I am not supported by my partner, I have always paid my own way.
The decision to try to make money from the internet, I have never regretted as I love being able to work from home and I have found something that I really enjoy, but it is not working financially for me, I just haven't managed to be able to receive enough money a month to survive on, so I have been applying for offline, full time employment,(over 60 job applications so far but it is getting tougher as there are so many qualified people competing for jobs that they are over qualified for, in order to get work) because as soon as the money in the bank has been paid out to my legal team, I am broke, totally flat broke!and I can't rely on my partner as he earns so little and has to pay child support for his youngest child, so I will need to apply for the unemployment benefit, which my family are urging me to do right now, but I want to make an income online, I don't want to be on a benefit
So how am I going to achieve that if I haven't been able to, so far? This is the whole purpose of my post. What I would like, is to find someone who would look at what I am doing now and help me make my websites become a viable source of income and we would share in the profit they made for a set period of time, or that we would do a JV together, something totally independent of what we are currently doing, where I do whatever my skills allow along with your skills and we make an income that way. I want to work hard, hey, I am online from the minute I wake up until the early hours of the morning, so I am not afraid of hard work, I just haven't managed to find the right method, yet!
If you think you would be able to do something with me then please respond by PM with your ideas and proposal.
We both need to be sure we can trust each other and so I will be very happy to supply testimonials as to my trustworthiness and I would expect the same from anyone that I end up partnering with, so please don't be offended if I have to decline your offer. We need to be confident in each other
Cheers
