The Real
Economic Facts:
-
More than 1.6
million people filed personal bankruptcy in the U.S. in the
year 2003 (U.S. Bankruptcy Court Table F-2), and
many, if not most, did not have to!
-
The average
American family with annual household income of less than
$40,000 has credit card debt of more than 10% of their
earnings (Gallup Poll, 2004).
-
Jobs lost
in the U.S. in the last four years hovers at 2.7 million
and unemployed persons in the U.S. is 8.0 million
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, 9/03/04).
The
effects of these economic conditions include increased stress,
faltering relationships, and sleepless nights for millions
of Americans! But they do not have to be! You can
deal with overburdening debt, reverse the effects of
insolvency and regain financial health (even if you're on the
brink of financial ruin) without filing bankruptcy and
without committing financial suicide.
