Problems with My Marriage and Financial Decisions

It will be 10 years my husband and I will be together this year. The last 2 years haven't been so good. I guess I should back up and explain where this started from. My husband's best friend is pretty well off and gave us a loan for my husband to go to school out of state. We went for almost two years and it was great. Before we moved back his friend gave us another loan to help us buy a house which we purchased. The deal was for us to start paying him in a few years when I finished school. The time is approaching and we are not able to...

Mother in Law Question

How often do you call your mother-in-law? We live 15 hours away from any family. Although I text my mom daily and call her once a week, I never think to call my mother-in-law.

Insurance Settlement (Sorry Long)

In May, I was rear-ended while sitting at a red light. I have a very small car and the other vehicle was a large SUV. The impact did about $1500 to my car. Admittedly, I was not hit hard, but I was recovering from a major surgery. I was not able to stand up straight when I got out of the car. (I had just left my chiropractor's office and was pain free for the first time in weeks!) I had painful spasms in my back. My chiro would not treat me until I was cleared by a doctor. At first, I did not want to get the x-ray because I just...
