Haha, I knew the accountant judgers would come out! How many fat, smoking doctors do you guys see? Lots!
I am an excellent accountant, but life choices such as having my now ex wife stay home with our kids for many years, which caused a great strain on our finances, putting my life savings down on my house right before the market plunged, the cost of small group health insurance ($2,350 per month for family plan), and my divorce have put me down for the count. Just trying to get back up before the count is up!
I am not making excuses or asking for sympathy for my own choices, but the situation is pressing down like a heavy stone, and I am just investigating alternatives.
The thread is taking on a life of its own, and that's really cool.
