Bankruptcy... Is it to easy?

I suppose I can see things from several points of view as we have been at the top of the pile, the middle of the pile and I am at the bottom of the pile now
Thing is, as one goes through life, one realises that there are all different sizes and heights of 'piles'.
The bottom of one can be the top of the other.
One gets to the top of the heap, to discover that there is another heap to climb (if the mood takes you) or, worse, another hole to fall into.
From what I have read of of SS, she is actually at the top of a pile at the moment. You don't know you are at the top until you slip down, likewise it's only if you climb 'out of a hole' sometimes, that you realise you were in one
in the first place.
I know it's a bit David Brent, but it's proving true as I go through life.0 -

In fairness to Mitchaa, she is only 26? I think I read that. At 26, you are heading for the heights. All that stuff that life throws at us has yet to impact on her life...even if it has been hard up until now...it just gets harder.I have made my judgement as far as you are concerned. Hope that's OK.
BTW Mewbie are you 75?0 -
Very true FC123.
I personally look at life as a series of hills that need to be walked up, over, down and up again.
I am in the walking across the valley bit at the moment but getting ready to start the walk up.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

To be fair, anyone in your situation would have to pretty tough to cope day to day. A reduced income, kids with health issues, no support from the dad...the list goes on.Very true FC123.

Mitchaa types (not picking on you specifically Mitchaa...just using a comfortably off 20 something person on here as an example) wouldn't last 1 week in your situation.....and then wouldn't be so quick to judge.
One of my oldest friends has avoided all chance and any risk in her life has been carefully judged prior to taking it.
Financially, she is secure (albeit in a very modest way) and has never had CC debt etc....however, she never would take the risk on a relationship either, take time out for friends, nor even give much time to her family.....all to keep everything foolproof and safe.
She's missed out on things (in my view) but, for her, not having a family, mate, the hassle of lots of friends was a price worth paying for 100% financial security.
Just a different type of personality.0 -
Yeah, I know she/he is young - so I should be fairer. Well, maybe - but then what other chance do I get to put one over some young kid at my old age.In fairness to Mitchaa, she is only 26?

I have always put you around the late 20's to early 30's area.
