We may not be rich, but we have each other and a roof and our physical health and our debt is small enough to pay off in a lifetime...or most likely less. Blessings indeed.

Even though I'm on an entry-level salary and can't afford to live luxuriously, I don't have debt, I have enough money to have all the basic essentials, and have enough to sock some away for retirement and vacations. These stories break my heart, too -- I don't have much sympathy for people who get into deep debt for living above their means, but I feel awful for those who did things right but were hurt by circumstance, such as medical situations or a natural disaster. I also wish I could help these people, and am not sure what there is to do. I wonder if there are any non-profits that help these people that you can donate to?
