Where I Was: I am smarter than that! I went to one of the nation?s top law schools, made over $100k, but I ended up in an abusive relationship and with damaged credit. After my separation, my ex refused to help pay for the our joint debts (house, cars, etc.) and I could not support the bills and my son on a single income. I was on the Oprah Show during the Debt Diet series and worked with 3 of the nation's top financial advisors to develop a winning financial strategy.
