I was watching Fox News on Saturday, when a segment came on about a woman that was in $500,000 credit card debt, and the choice that she made to get out of it. You can view that segment here:

As I was searching the Fox News website looking for the video to share with you, I came across a drastically different tale of debt:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,484705,00.html
A father who was in an "insurmountable" amount of debt, and his choice to get out of it.
This blog post has taken a different turn than I originally had thought. I was planning on posting a happy, hope filled message for you this morning, but instead I want to give you the question: Do you have a victim mentality, or do you have a fighter's mentality?
The father in this story was headed to his brother-in-law's house in Kansas with his family, so he had help to get through his situation.
There is always hope! Seek out help when you feel overwhelmed! You are never too far into a money situation that you can't recover from it!
How about another perspective:
How would the situation have looked for this father and his family if they didn't have any debt and an emergency fund when he and his wife had lost their jobs? What if they had made some different choices a few years earlier to take control of their money, instead of the money taking control of them (literally)?
