Yesterday we met with our lawyer and it wasn't too bad. We qualify for chapter 13 if we want to go that route. I learned the difference between using the debt settlement, management companies, going into chpt 13, and trying to negotiate with the credit card companies by yourself which we have tried a little already.

Couldn't sleep to well last night. Today my hubby and I are going to the bankruptcy lawyer to see if we qualify for chapter 7 reorganization or if it would be best to get into a debt management program or a debt settlement program.

Tonight I made five meatloaf lunches/dinners that can be used for my husband to take to work or for use to have when I don't feel like cooking. Along with the the turkey stew I mad earlier this week, I have stocked my freezer with some meals for his lunch on the days I don't have any left overs of run out of money for sandwich funds. I am learning how to utilize leftovers to the max now. My hubby was thrilled when he learned that the meal he was eating was less than a eating a Big Mac ! He was ...
