How I Begin, Again

Smarter. You have learned some lessons if you lost your home to foreclosure.

Allow the lessons you learned to improve your life.

You will want to rent for awhile, save at least 10% of your earnings and work on raising your credit score.

Stop all dumb spending.

Find pastimes and pleasures that improve you personally and improve your family opportunities, such as increased education or starting a part-time business that you can do on weekends and after work.

Put your head up and a smile on your face and remember that a very large percentage of America's wealthiest have been in bankruptcy in their past.
