    Planning for the future

    Hey everyone. As you know, Michelle and I are trying to win this contest on sharebuilder. We can win by getting the most votes. Now, this isn't a situation where we want to win just to win money. We want to win so we can have a nest egg for when we move in together.
    As some of you remember, we tried to live together about a year ago. We saved up for a long time and eventually were able to move in down near Boston. However, due to some very unfortunate circumstances in Michelle's life, she had to move back home soon after. I happened to be tied into a 6 month lease, so I had to keep paying for rent for that whole time. We ended up spending all our money we had saved on what turned out to be 1 week of being together. This left us with very little and we are trying to save up again, which, as you all know, is very difficult. Fortunately, we still have some furniture and appliances for when we move back together.

    I am currently looking for jobs up in Maine. If we won this money from the contest , we could have a significant nest egg that would allow us to move together the second I got a job. That would be great. Of course.

    I know you have seen the ad on the top of the forum, but I figured I would share a little reasoning for why I am asking you to help us.
    Simply go to this link: https://bit.ly/c1xq3n and click "Vote For This!" under my picture That is it! Simple, easy, no problem. We want to come in
    This would be like a dream if we won.
    Thank you so much!
    -Frank

        I believe you have to "Like" ShareBuilder first before you can vote, at least that's what I had to do. Some people are having to go to the Sharebuilder thing itself and find Frank's picture in order to get the vote option.

            yes, unfortunately. We moved together in September and 6 days later my mom ended up in the hospital in the critical care unit on life support after a severe asthma attack. Both her lungs essentially "popped" (pneumothorax in medical terminology) and she went over 10 minutes without oxygen. She died a couple days later because of hypoxic brain injury. I moved back home because I needed my family and they needed me. I actually dedicated this website in her memory not long after her death: https://www.lovingfromadistance.com/iloveyoumama.html

            The move really cost us a lot and we don't have enough saved to do it again.

            Thank you all for your votes and support! We really appreciate it so much.

                  It has to be a full 24 hours before you can vote again.

                  And someone told me that they knew it had been a full 24 so what they did was on the ShareBuilder page, click on the "Contests" tab, then click on "Vote for your favorite" and she found Frank's photo, clicked on it, and for some reason the "Vote for this!" link will showed up for her then. And that's what has worked for a couple people.

                  Only 34 votes, we need more!
