Ok, so as much as I have struggled with this second hand store, and I really have, people decided to open thrift stores around me.
Now 4 more have opened. Which ok, I thought maybe more = more foot traffic.
Well, not so much.
Because I struggled so long, people must think I'm thriving. SMH.
I am closing my store during the winter months because I CANNOT afford the higher utilities. That was the final blow.
Plus my own home. I'm just so tired of being this broke... I decided maybe I can't help children get off the street with their mom or dad. Because I can't seem to get a break.
Been doing Uber East just to pay my stores costs and my own and THEN my car died.
WITHOUT hope of having money to buy another.
My taxes are due on my home, and I don't have the money so I am going to have to leave everything in the store behind because I cannot move to a more elite area with it because I don't the resources.
I couldn't afford the rent up front and who knows if I would even succeed and then finding an affordable home.
I'm just giving up because I have prayed & prayed & prayed....and maybe it's not the direction I can succeed. It's painful to give up a life long dream. But it's either that or I'll be counted as a homeless, soon.
