Filing Bankruptcy...Need Some Support



Recommended Posts

Not sure if you ever heard of Dave Ramsey. He has a talk radio show. He is EXCELLENT in his advice giving. My husband is a financial advisor/stockbroker and we both think he's well rounded and common sense. Here is a link, as he streams his radio program online. Take a listen. He deals w/folks up to the "ears" in debt.

Thanks...my credit is great right now because I've always made the payments on time. So my interest rate is already way down there and most of the balances were transferred to those "3.99% until the balance of the transfer is paid off" special offers. But I will definitely give them a call. I'm seeing another attorney tomorrow to get a second opinion on whether this the the best way for me to go. He may have some suggestions or other options, even though I don't see any other way. For the first time ever I don't have the necessary $$ to make this month's payment. But it's always good to get a second opinion...

I will check into the Dave Ramsey website. Thanks for the information.

Emily, I have filled myself and I know the way you fill but Iam paying 100% of what i owe back and I have saved myself $350 a month over what i was paying out and everthing will be payed off in 5 years:). So I wish i had done it sooner instead of fighting it all these years. The way stuff is set up anymore its hard if you are on the lower end of the food chain. I need to be quiet or I'll proably makesome one mad but example cars i have to pay a high intreset rate while the better off get 0% financing...they say iam a higer risk ok i will go along with that, but didnt they even make me a higher risk by giving me such a high rate...hummmmmm......:second:

WE ARE ALL PULLING FOR YOU!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
