I only read the first few, but I really feel for them.

Interesting stories. The main theme in most of them is that they are in trouble with their credit card debt and mortgages. These stories made me feel really nervouse reading about them.

You are right, Sissy.
Some of them, I wonder how they got themselves in such a pinch. But, I know that if Todd or I lost our job, we'd probably be in the same situation (unfortunately).

I fell for those people. As we have been in similar situations. We have nor retirement as we sunk it into a business back in 1999 and we closed the doors to it in 2000. What a waste

This makes me very grateful that we have no credit debt or mortgage....we are actually glad we have this little apartment, at least for now....
