First, I appreciate you guys, you know, putting me on, but I wanted to just kind of, you know, put my situation out there.

In 2020, I'm a small business owner. In 2020, we had a great year. We're a fence installation company. Now, we were doing

really, really great around the time, 2020 into 2021. At that time, my wife had an affair. I was

working probably 50 to 60 hours a week just because I had to keep up with the demand for the

business at the time.

After that, you know, that hit me mentally and going into a divorce process, it killed me financially, and I've just not been able to recover.

It's just been a tough few years.

The business, since that, it was kind of like almost like a peak in 2020 and the

2021 with the work the business slowed down

after um i don't know if it's partially due to the economy or or just my state in general of

you know pushing forward lack of funds for the business and so on but um just been a struggle since uh

since that time so man. Sorry, brother.

Oh, it's all right. And, you know, with, you know, pre-divorce around 20-20, I had six

figures in the bank. I only had my mortgage, which is $1,400, which in Massachusetts,

you can't even rent for $ is just nothing for the more the

mortgage is nothing uh at the time it was 1250 but during the divorce i had a refinance so it went up to

almost 1500 uh but i i mean i just all my money got drained she spent 72 thousand dollars in

2020 the year of the divorce she just kind of drain the accounts and left me with that.

And then the tax liability, I got in the, I'm in huge tax troubles. I owe six figures to the,

to the government and then 30,000 to the state. And I'm just kind of lost.

Well, Let me,
