Sorry to hear that J. I certainly do appreciate your contributions on this forum. I agree with (I believe it was) lonesoldier. I have known many people who went bankrupt a few times and then hit it big. They just never gave up. I also agree with you. As long as you, your husband, and your kids stay tight you'll be alright. My thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear this Janette. My wife and I went through this just over ten years ago but it was also involving a failed business. It turned out to be the best thing we could have done. That was 1998 after leaving that "Pit-of-a-state" Maine. In 2000, we bought a brand new home in NH after having settled into new jobs. We only got hit with 9.89 % interest. We did take a hit on the first soccer mom van at 19.9%, but we paid for a little over a year on both with 100% on-time payments and refinanced both. The house dropped to 7.65 % and the van to 11.99%. After another year, we traded the van for a new RAV4 and got 6.99%. In 2003, we got the house down to the current 5.24%.
You see, it can be a blessing and you can rebuild. But, you need to be in a place that has the available work to do this. You need to be persistent with the creditors as you rebuild. When they see you with 100% on-time credit for the year following a bankruptcy, you start to get FAST leverage.
Don't look at it as a depressing event. It's all replaceable material goods you're losing. It cannot get any worse when you've reached that point.
Look at it as a new beginning. Like you said, you have Danny and the kids. That is ALL you need to start anew. They can have all those "things" but they cannot take your spirit, your memories, your family or your will to succeed going forward. Be positive about this and it will show through.

I'm very sorry to hear that J. When you get back on your feet, make sure to pay yourself first (savings, 401K, etc) before buying anything that's not needed. It's not that much fun, but it will pay off in the long haul.

Yeah, but we make way more money out here, and it will be California that booms first when this thing turns.
We have one one of the most dynamic economies in the world, and while I would like to have some of the freedoms citizens of, say, Texas enjoy, when it comes down to it, there's more opportunity here.

Thats the interesting thing about that tool. It allows you to put in the salary you are recieving in cali and compare it to the rest of the country with the cost of living and compare the amount of increase or decrease of disposable income if you maintain your accustomed standard of living.

Right, but what are your chances of making over 100,000 per year in Kentucky? Cops make over 100,000 a year in California.

And so do nurses. I can take my California money and go buy some land in KY for pennies on the dollar. Helmets at newenough.com cost everyone the same amount....MSRP on an FZ6 is the same regardless where you live...etc. etc.

Maybe I just dont understand though, there are lots of things I just dont understand.
I of course agree that anything you order will be the same price and normally without sales taxes.

That's nothing to be proud of. It only goes to prove that the cost of living is out of control in California. I live in London and can buy California property at pennies on the £ but it doesn't mean I want to.

I feel for you. We've moved the kids a couple of times (due to work) in the last few years and it's not something you do lightly. I was recently told I had to work out of an office 100 miles from home, luckily I found another job in my local office.
When times have been hard financially I have sometimes thought that bankruptcy must be a relief after all the fretting about payments etc although never actually having been there I don't speak from experience.
Good luck with everything and don't let the b*stards grind you down
