The Seven Emotional Stages of Debt
Many years ago I wrote my original Seven Stages of Debt, as modified from the Five Stages of Death and Dying by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Both experiencing the emotional loss of a loved one and the emotional loss of your financial life are similar in some distinct ways. However, the emotional stages of debt also have two additional components that a mortal death does not. And these stages are almost magical as they can lead to a new and better life for you.

Selling or Buying Credit Repair Services? Read This Before You’re Busted.
The latest unbelievable resurgence in the debt relief world is advanced fee credit repair. That ship sailed a decade ago, at least. Companies are telling marketers that they can sell credit repair services and basically “charge whatever” they want to. But there is this little thing called the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) that prohibits the collection of any fee or compensation before any credit report assistance is fully rendered. Even then, the company may not sell services that are designed to remove negative but accurate information from a consumer credit report.

I Am a Caregiver to My Quadriplegic Husband and We are Maxed Out. – Linda
Dear Steve, I am a caregiver to my quadriplegic husband since 2006.The credit cards are at their limit,I didn't help any by going overboard at x-mas. Also if something is or says medical it is expensive,and medicaid and medicare only cover so much. So I spend a lot on things for his care and put it on the credit cards. Also his transportation is expensive, we don`t have a van for him. Our tax lady does try to get us good refunds for things but it depends on amount all year.
