Mortgage must be in place before Feb 15 if you want a loan to cover it.
My scheme is in shambles already. |
Actually I wouldn't. I'd gladly scale way back on work.
You guys think I wanna be digging around in peoples mouths right now? **** that. Give me capitol to pay everyone and keep the business up for a few months and I'll lock myself away at home. |

I am a lawyer, and I do divorces. My income from that has dropped by 82% since March 6th. Much of the income that I have had since then has been from pre-existing clients making payments on their accounts.
My phone is usually ringing off the hook but it's been so quiet the last 3 weeks that I actually checked with my Google guy to see if he had done something to the advertising. It turns out that nobody is even clicking on the ads right now. People are just too worried about getting by to bother with any extra expenses. I did some research, and divorce rates typically increase after a crisis like this (as do marriages--evidently people get more emotional in both directions). When the dust settles, I do expect to get a lot of calls from people who have been forced to stay home together. However, if everyone is out of work for a long time, I don't know how they will be able to afford a divorce even if they want it. This could end up impacting my practice for a long time. |

As an asthmatic and a guy that’s seen family members die essentially from smoking I’d urge you to quit. Do something else. Anything else. |

So...kinda. But yeah, the last two weeks have been just about on the hour. I've spent the last two days trying to anchor myself to the chair to just not go outside. The fact that my actual day to day workload has petered out to damn near nothing combined with the stress of all this is just a real bad combo. Should probably go get sunflower seeds or something and then just use little 10 minute intervals to chew on 'em. |

I’ve paid rent through May already. Just staying on top of bills for now. I cut directv after ten years. Refinanced credit cards are now paid off and paying a lower interest rate to pay off the loan in 2 years

Still trying to figure out how much one can borrow under this Paycheck Protection Act...I read that 2.5 times your average payroll amount of the prior 12 months??? |

So...maybe make an appointment quickly. There's so much shit in there to parse through and dissect that it's still going to be difficult to figure out how it works in practice. But hey, if worst case scenario I end up w/ a 10 year note with no personal guarantee that is 100% backed by the SBA at a rate not to exceed 4% for a million bucks....ugh...that'll suck dicks. But I can proooooobably make that work. That's another $10K/month I'll have to find in the budget. So...y'know...no profit for 5 years. But it's workable. The only thing that has me spooked is backing. If I gotta pay it back, I gotta pay it back. Shit happens. But I at least need to GET it first and if banks tighten up and I can't get the engines re-started, that's the nightmare scenario. From what I've read I think we'll try to reduce any buyout payments by as much as we can, reduce all salaries by 25%, move on from college and part-time staff and let the chips fall where they may. I think that gets us quite a bit of cover here but it's hard to know exactly how much. But if I can combine that cover with the security of knowing there will at least be the "well now you have to pay this back over 10 years" fallback, so be it. |
