Beating the Bankruptcy Blues

I didn’t mean for my debt to get out of control. It happened so gradually that I barely noticed it at first, and by the time I understood what was happening to my finances, it was too late to do anything to stop it. I was trying to start a small business, and I thought that I had enough of a cushion to fall back on. I was wrong.

This blog about bankruptcy is meant to help others that find themselves in the same situation.
