Creditors are after me and I have about $1200 left over before I run out of money. Unemployed right now and stressed to the max. I have no health insurance and my wife is in Italy enjoying Venice today while I am considering the rest of my life. Not suicidal ... yet.

If your finances are that bad.... can you not look into bankruptcy

are you entitled to state help with money.

perhaps make payment deals with the people you owe money too.
pay so much weekly/monthly

Sounds stressful! Do you have a mortgage or car payment?

Thanx for replies. I just got back from mailing out a whopping $25 to creditors.

Spouse has all assets. I have none.

I am too poor for bankrupt, costs $2k to do that thanks to the changes put through by pro-Middle class (not) Bush.

I am also high funcitonal aspbergers.

Can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. Just pay what you can and keep looking for a job. That's the best you can do. I used to work at a credit agency. Might ruin your credit, but you can build that back up.
