    341 Meeting October 6th

    My meeting is October 6th and I filed August 29th and I am petrified. My life was on cruise control I would gamble and use credit cards to live on and my wife and I both had good jobs. I went into a complete spiral and ran up all my credit cards in the last year after paying them all off about 15 months ago. I never planned to lose all my money or file bankruptcy. My wife has since left me so It's only my income and I can't get by. I have bills and what not. The reasons I am scared are the following
    1. I went to vegas in June not planning on filing and charged the tickets for around 623 dollars and another for 330 dollars. Was still with my wife and I always thought we'd dig ourselves out. I was hoping for a miracle at the casino but still thought i'd pay all my debts back and get my life in order 65 days from filing
    2. I used my amex card for 750 dollars in june to pay inlaws back as I owed them.68 days from filing
    3. I used my cc for food/gas and within 60 days of filing and some other misc items
    4. I had large balance transfer and cash advances in April and also large payments to them. I tried to switch money around plus pay bills
    5. In the end the lawyer says don't worry it will be fiine. I am scared what to do if the trustee asks why the charges what were you doing.
    6. I had a serious gambling problem and I havn't gambled in 90 days as I don't want to lose any more after losing wife and losing my dignity due to gambling life.

      The one thing I learned BIG time - was that when my lawyer said "It'll be fine" he wasn't kidding. I was freaked about my ex potentially showing up to the meeting because he was going to sue me for 1/2 his credit card debt (long story - check out my other posts if you want to know), he told me not to worry - he won't show. He didn't

        See Herekity - NOW THAT WAS ALMOST PAINLESS, WASN'T IT!!!

        You are on your way to discharge..... just hang in there.

        The hardest part of bankruptcy is the waiting and not knowing what to expect... makes you a "wild thing".........

        But really it is a painless procedure most of the time......

        Glad that part is over for you,

        My suggestions are from "personal experience" and research only. Do not consider this as legal advice. Each bankruptcy case is different.
