I will do what, in the last post, I said I would not do and make a comment that is about personal stuff.
I apologize that this post is a bit cheesy.
I think that people outside of a situation underestimate the pain and stress financial difficulty can add. Coupled with emotional turmoil (eg: a relationship ending) this can be almost unbearable. There is nothing worse than trying to process serious personal pain and then having a creditor call.
Currently I see a lot of this. While most of my clients are buyers ALL of my seller-clients are selling short. Some are mid breakup. Its awful to watch and I can only imagine what its like for them.
My sympathies to the friend of the author who is the subject of this thread.
