My husband was working as a diesel mechanic/jack of all trades (his brother was the boss there) layed off in October 2008 which started all this mess...now he works painting large trucks and RVs.

I own a small telecommunications company. Due to a horrible economy most of my larger customers have declared BK. Therefore, here I am doing the same. This business supported me for the past 21 years. Work now is almost non-existent.

I'm a high school teacher in California. 50K in student loan debt, lot's of credit card debt (from my lousy salary), a couple of lawsuits, and all this with a paycheck that I could have gotten without going through so much crap. America really respects its teachers, yeah, right into uncompromisable debt.
