We know the headline isn’t really earth shattering news;  we don’t know how else to get your attention so you know the banks are being protected.  Your best interests are with someone who knows how to help you get out of your mess. Assistance for getting you out of your mess will not be found at the financial institutions. They are the ones who got us into the mess, and they are the money experts. Think about that.
