Man Puts 'Soul' Up for Auction on eBay
Underemployed man tries to raise money for back child support by selling his soul on Ebay
Phoenix,AZ (PRWEB) April 17, 2005 -- Bruce David had a successful publishing and marketing business in Cleveland, OH But a generous divorce court wiped out his share of marital assets and profits from the sale of his business went south when the new owner never paid.
While collecting unemployment, the courts tripled his monthly support obligation; despite attempts at filing for a modification. Later, he accepted a job out west and moved only to learn upon his arrival that the job had fizzled. He accepted another job, which required another move only to have that job end after three months.
Despite distributing more than 500 resumes, hes had no success in finding a job; another statistic in the declining middle class job market. In the meantime, past due support obligations, interest and penalties pile up. Its not that he doesnt want to pay, he simply doesnt have the money to do so.
According to David, the courts have an odd formula for figuring support payments. They base it on what you 'used to earn and what your former spouse earns. Now, I cant go into a bank and ask for a car loan based on what 'I used to earn or what my ex-wife earns, yet that is why theyve turned down my modification appeal several times."
Prospects of finding a job that pay well are becoming slimmer in this country anymore. Ive heard of many white-collar folks whose jobs are gone for life and theyre taking huge salary cuts just to find work. Thats the reason I put my soul up for sale; I seem to be running out of options and can no longer afford an attorney to fight on my behalf."
