It took every bit of unemployment simply to pay the house payment; my wifes income covered the other secured debt; gas, food, even some utilities had to be put on credit.

I want to get past this; begin restore credit (hopefully only restoring late pays etc and not a foreclosure) and get out of unsecured debt. Then only enter into a small practical home.
Our current house is nice, but too big for the two of us anyway.

Friend, restoring credit is not your first priority, there is no shame in renting until you are financially capable of being a home owner.

If you spend your life worrying about a FICA score, you are spending your life worrying about what to put on credit next..

I did it before, I was up to my ass once before, thought I deserved this or that just because I worked, then I realized I deserve nothing I couldn't pay for.

Now when I buy a car, it's cash, a boat it's cash or anything else I want... My credit score is falling like a rock because I have no debt and I am no longer important to them unless I am paying payments and debt...

I could care less about credit, it's good for one thing... To buy a house at a decent rate, other than that they can keep it.

Bank your money, save up 20-30k while u are in bankruptcy... when you are able to buy again, put the big payment down to avoid PMI then get a 15 yr note that is no more than 25% of youy NET household income per month

can I ask you what the % of your NET income the house payment is or was?
