So how do we prevent ruining our credit when we can't pay the extra emergencies such as medical bills etc. that are now going to collections? Our income JUST covers the basics. Getting out of the whole sounds wonderful in theory but how to do it when the income doesn't even cover preventing credit dings with collections??

And a great decision to buy Vanguard 500 (VFINX? or ETF?) on the drip. Things are going well for you, it looks like.
