Thank you for sharing your information. I have a very bad post bankruptcy attitude. The very companies who tore my head off with exploding interest rates, just asked congress and received nice, low, fixed interest rate loans. (we go broke, we pay 18-24%, they go broke, they get low fixed % and get to keep charging the poor high rates) I’ve swore that those sharks will never get any more high interest rate money from me, not a another dime. I’ll drive old vehicles and pay into an IRA for a retirement home some day. (jobs are not secure enough in my profession to buy a home while I’m still working anyway, because with high gas prices you can’t commute long distances)

Can you tell me more about how you went about obtaining adequate health care coverage? My current job does not offer health benefits. My husband’s job does, but we can not afford to pay an eighth of his take home pay to cover him, much less a quarter of his take home pay to cover both of us.

We had looked into an individual policy in the past, but since my husband has been diagnosed with diabetes, we were told that he would never be able to be approved for an individual policy. This is a terrible irony — after the diagnosis, my husband lost a lot of weight and went from being told that he would be on insulin for the rest of his life to controlling his blood sugar with diet alone. He’s now, as a diabetic, in better health than he’s ever been before in his life.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!

I recently have had some credit problems. I liked my credit cards waaay too much. I think the best thing you can do to recover is to allow yourself enough time to straighten everything all out. Nothing happens overnight, especially fixing a credit score.
