She's reduced, for the time being, to living off of credit cards and paying the minimums with the cash she has left. She was already funding large chunks of the wedding with 0% cards (yeah, she doesn't ask my advice for a reason) and now there's even more random stuff being piled on that debt.<br /><br />This could not have come at a worse time for her. I guess there's really never a good time for this to come. With Christmas coming up, it's going to hurt those with kids especially hard.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774256579912612382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-87801453481180196862013-10-11T08:53:45.702-04:002013-10-11T08:53:45.702-04:00Wonder what would happen if the president and Cong...Wonder what would happen if the president and Congress were in your shoes?? So sorry for your stress. Now's the time to concentrate on the four walls - the rest goes to the bottom of the list. You can only do what you can do.
