Got It Done……
Completed the pre-bankruptcy paperwork that we will need at the lawyer’s office in the AM. I ‘think’ we have everything set up and ready to go. LOL, I am going to miss screwing with the collections people, but am quite sure that they will keep calling anyway. Oh well.
It is truly amazing when you really sit down and put every creditor on paper. When the paperwork printed out, there are 5 pages with 5 slots per page to list creditors……I needed a separate sheet of paper. Looking at the bills, 90% are in my wife’s name only. Of the $100k or so, @ $26k is actually in my name, but that definitely brings about a decision that many people will simply not make: I married my wife and said vows that included verbage about “in good times as well as in bad”. This is a bad time in our lives and the support that we have shown each other has been simply amazing. Looking back on it, I should have been more aggressive with our debt pay down plan. I should have achieved my wife’s ‘buy in’ more harder and I should have been on top of things much more……BUT, I wasn’t. So……tomorrow, 10am EST is the first step.
