Wow! That's really sad. However, congratulations to you and your wife for surviving the stress and staying together. I'm pleased you were able to recover financially--although you are still down--at least you have something.

Good job expressing your life in only 150 words. I am so sorry for your money troubles, and getting taken advantage of by an unscrupulous attorney. I am glad that you and your wife are now able to smile.

Thank you for sharing your life story. I have always worried about people who have lost their life savings through the various scams. Did they ever get back on their feet again? Your story may not be representative, but I like to think that it is. You are smiling. I suspect that you are more resilient than most. Good luck in this competition. You have told your story well.

Wow! That was a rough ride! You managed to say quite a bit in only 150 words, but what I take away from your story is that you are a survivor and have come out on top, smiling and content in spite of all you had to go through. Good for you! I like how you write. Keep it up.

Born to poor parents in Paterson, NJ and educated by the Jesuits, I obtained my MBA.
I obtained my MBA just doesn't sound right where you have it...I'm thinking you might say.

A very interesting piece. I am glad it all came together again in the end. It was very intriguing to know more about your early life. Good luck in the contest.

Wow!
That's a lot of hardship packed into those years but it is good to know that you had good times as well.
A loving family is an irreplaceable asset and far richer than gold.
Good luck.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is such a sad story, we work hard and then in a moment it is all taken away from us, but you and your wife have your health and strength to pull through and can still appreciate the dawn, the flowers and breathing in the fresh air, those are riches that have the highest prize and they are free. You find out who your friends are when the chips are down and learn to know how strong you can really be. I am sorry this happened to you, my husband and I lost £30,000 on a mortgage that was wrongly sold to us by a company and we never got that money back, we survived, but it meant paying out for much longer. Good luck with your write, it is very touching, love Dolly x
