Way cool! Max's Boot Camp being touted on SI! I belong to a NACBA listserv, and Max is one of the stars of the listserv. Bootcamp sounds like a lot of fun, but I get a lot of freebie stuff on the listserv. (NACBA = National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys). I lobbied my congress critters for NACBA a couple of weeks ago, there was a NACBA-speared effort to get our point of view ahead of the vote (which might come as early as tomorrow) on a bankruptcy reform bill that would allow homeowners to "cram down" their mortgages to fair market value. Every form of consumer debt can be restructured in a 13 except for the primary residence, so my clients are telling me "fageddaboudit" and letting the house go. It's a scary phenomenon.
