Today I had the pleasure — really, it’s always so much fun — of appearing on Morning Joe to talk about Not Your Parents’ Money Book. I was waiting for Willie Geist to ask me (as he’d asked the prior guests) if I was a witch. He didn’t. And I’m not. But I am a Jeannie

Hi Jean,
Enjoy watching you on the Today Show. I trust you and would like your advice. A member of my family has credit card debt of about 20K and is unemployed, although has kept up with making the minimum pmt of about $300 a month. He is no longer able to make that pmt since he does not have UE funds coming in. He does have 6K in the bank and I believe he has a 401K, but drawing out of it is a part of his debt of about 10K, which he had to pay to the IRS with his credit card. He DOES NOT own a home. How should he go about consolidating his debt so he can get back on track until he finds a job. Should he consider bankruptcy? I wonder if that would affect his standing if prospective employers look at his background. Like many, he has a strong employment history in the tech field until he was laid off a couple of years ago. His finances and credit have always been very good with no problems. Would very much appreciate your advice and soon, if possible, as I believe he needs to take action.
Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, bankruptcy may be the right alternative for your relative. But before he goes that route, I want him to call a not-for-profit credit counseling service — he can find one at debtadvice.org. A good credit counselor will take him through an intake process where they look at how much he owes, what he owns, and the interest rates he’s paying. More…

After her husband was offered a great new career opportunity, the family relocated to Nashville, Craig sold her storefront and its inventory, and planned to start fresh in a new town. She would have loved to find and open another retail spot, but the 10-hour days they called for weren’t possible with young kids. An online business, however, was another story.
