Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Hi Bluefeet, hope you're still reading. Being as optimistic as you are is a great trate and will help you get through this time. You're very fortunate to have been able to raise your girls, even though it has been tough... glad you know this.

As far as being in debt, it is tough. I have been there. takes a lot of work and a long time to correct. Debt is not an income issue, debt is an internal issue. Debt starts out because people buy what they want, when they don't have the money currently, and not what they "need". Then the inevitable emergencies comes, and it becomes over whelming. There are rich people burdened with debt and poor people without debt. You have to manage your money well, but more importantly you have to manage what you want vs what you need. When you learn this, your debt will diminish. (BTW, "you" refers any person in debt trouble).

I'll certainly miss your advice and participation. I have a feeling you'll be back one day. Good luck until then.
