What best advice would you give me for a career as a counselor. Is there a school? a degree? a certification? Would it make sense to be a Loan Officer first?

I haven't filed income taxes for eight years. I don't think I owe anything but I'm still nervous about contacting the IRS.

I filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy five years ago. I have tried to apply for a credit card and been turned down.

Would it be in my best interests to close out the 401k to pay off my debt, build up a safety net in savings, and then start contributing to the new 401k? Or would I lose too much by starting two years later?

Should I withdraw the money from my 401k to pay off my credit cards? I no longer work for the company, so if I withdraw the money, it's all or nothing.
