Heather in Wyoming. I'm a stay-at-home mom, and this has been the most stressful, painful past two years

of my life with my husband making horrible financial decisions that left us over $500,000 in debt.

thousand dollar home equity loan that he used to fix up the rental oh and over five thousand dollars

in credit cards he keeps saying he's working on it and he is a hard worker but has put us in a

completely impossible situation that danger that angers me and stresses me out every single day.
