BANKRUPTCY
I’ll be so relieved when I don’t have to set foot in a lawyer’s office again. Don’t get me wrong. Who I’m working with is wonderful. He’s a Philadelphia bankruptcy lawyer and he definitely has a sense of humor. He’s helped me so much throughout this entire process. I never could’ve made this step without him. It’s the bankruptcy itself that I’m having such a difficult time with. The fantasy is definitely over. I’ve been in denial for so many years. It’s not easy to look back over the last several years and realize all the mistakes I’ve made. Changing my habits isn’t going to be an overnight process. I’ve been consistently improving. I’ve become so used to buying whatever I want, but I can’t do that anymore. I just want to make sure that I don’t wind up making the same mistakes after this is all over. Like I said, my lawyer is really wonderful and he’s walking me through all of it and making sure we have a plan in place afterward. We’ve spent a number of hours talking about budgeting issues and other things. He wants to follow up with my progress after this is all over which I’m happy about. I want to make sure I stay on the right track!
