Once I had finished a cup of coffee, I realized that my back
yard had not been converted into a smoking hole in the ground, nor had my house
been swallowed by an earthquake. The earth appeared to be, for the most
part, still here. A brief check of the news and various social media
sites confirmed what I had already suspected...the world did not end on
December 21, 2012.
The news might not be so good for everyone, though. Over
the past year, I had heard anecdotal reports that some people who
believed that the Mayans accurately predicted that the end of the world on December 21, 2012 have maxed out credit cards and incurred large
amount of debt under the belief that they would not have to repay. Essentially
they were counting on cosmic happenstance to intervene as a sort of galactic loan forgiveness program.
Wishful thinking, perhaps.
Then again, the reason others are struggling with debt they
cannot afford to pay may be a bit more grounded: the loss of a job, persistent
unemployment, medical expenses, foreclosure, poor spending
habits, etc. Whatever the case, Kelsey & Trask, P.C. stands
ready to help. To schedule a consultation with an attorney to address

The Mayans never stated the world would end on December 21, 2012. Their calendar simply stopped on that date. Thanks for getting it right!
