Why are we so passionate about helping people?

In 2016, I was on the path to foreclosure. My wife and I had just separated. Like most couples, our household and lifestyle required two incomes. I lost a 1/3 of my net income to child support as well as all of the income my wife had contributed to the household. Eventually, my credit score began to tank. The thought of losing everything I worked so hard for, was unbearable. How could this be happening? After consulting with a few associates, I came up with a plan.

What did I do to avoid foreclosure?

I put my home on the market. I thought, better to walk away with something than to lose everything. At the very least, I would have some funds in my pocket and the ability to restore my credit. This would also, make it easier to start over and save for my next home. Fortunately, my wife and I reconciled. I also received a significant raise from my then employer. This allowed me to keep my home. Yes, I was fortunate, but I still remember the stress I felt while going through this process.
