When the time came, filing bankruptcy was not an easy decision. I was scared. My lawyer kept on saying that it is the right thing to do. My friends, on the other side, were trying to convince me that I still might be able to fix everything without filing bankruptcy. I felt so lost. I had estimated two hundred thousand dollars in debt and with no source of income other then alimony that my ex-husband was paying for our two kids. I needed to get a job, I was so desperate. But what job could I possible get? Who could I be? I came from a very wealthy family. Thanks to my dad, I finished Harvard by the age of 22. The same year I got married to my dad’s business partner’s son. We didn’t even know each other. My parents lost their business during the unpredictable downfall in economy. And now, fifteen years later, I realized that I have never had a job, or a hobby. I was so busy trying to take care for my husband and our kids that I never even thought about one. I knew it will be hard to find a job, but I didn’t feel like giving up.
