I have recently come out of a chapter 13 that I had to declare after putting my three children thru college in 10 years. They all graduated---Boston U, Xavier, and Northwestern--and all are employed. I ended up having 30,000 worth of IRS debt,losing my home, (I am now in a lease purchase arrangement to buy it back) and I have 25,000 on my American Express. I own my own business and am currently making between 40-50,000 a year. My husband works part-time and currently is bringing home only 1000-1200 per month. We have no health insurance, no life insurance, and only 25,000 in an annuity for retirement. I am constantly fearful about my situation...and I have had no one to talk to because I have been too ashamed to tell anyone the real story.....I am glad you are doing this blog....as a young person you are very wise....... I wish I had had someone to advise me over the years whose advice I could trust....but noone was willing to do so...and others were in worse shape than myself.

As a business strategist and psychologist at a large home loan bank.. I think this is great. I look forward to reading more, and hope we can communicate at some point. thanks, Mark Leigh,
