My wife and I never went through foreclosure, but we did have to move out here from Texas (I lost my job) and we couldn't sell our house in TX. We lived in a small apartment and had about $20,000 in debt. We took a class called "Financial Peace University" through our church (Dave Ramsey) and started taking the right steps. Budgeting, Emergency Savings, Debt Snowball, 3-6 months savings, insurance, investments, giving, etc...and now we still struggle but we only have about $1,500 in debt, our car is paid off, we own a home (which in Southern California is not easy...well wasn't), and are moving forward.

I can't imagine how tough this is for you guys and I really am sorry to read...but you'll get back on your feet again.
