My family is so broke.

I am at my wits end. I feel like I am drowning. I can’t tell my husband. I am so scared what he will do if he finds out. I feel like I am holding a handfull of sand. Help me.

i know that money is a big reasons for arguments in a marriage (it was in mine), but you have to tell him. you’re in it together. you can only work through it together.

Publish a book about any old crap (some past experience in your life is a good bet, or a disease someone you know died of) and roll in the money.

^^It’s easy enough. Look at James Fry and his fake biography.

as a writer, i’d have to disagree. it happens with ease for a tiny minority of writers. the publishing industry is a hard nut to crack.

anon, i do have another suggestion. although i don’t agree with everything he says, there’s a radio guy named dave ramsey. his website is daveramsey . com. he helps people get out of debt, and he’s very encouraging. there’s no silver bullet; it will take hard work. good luck.
