That Cashflow game sounds interesting...
And zfraile, it sucks that all of those things piled on you at once. Maybe the universe is giving you the opportunity to come to terms with a difficult belief about money. When I first had my heart broken, the universe gave me the opportunity to come to terms with my beliefs about love and relationships in the same way. Suddenly, out of the woodwork, I learned that almost every one of my female friends (and relatives) had been raped. Piles of uncomfortable knowledge coming all at once can't be ignored -- you sort of have to figure out how you're going to deal with the situation, sink or swim, be cynical or continue to love your life and make your financial (or in my case, romantic) situation better.
On a side note, income discrepencies suck. I recently found out that my boyfriend made a third more money than I'm making now when he was in high school. His high school job? Waxing boats. My current career? Associate editor of an award-winning West Coast distributed magazine. And I graduated college with high honors, too! Go figure. But... I love my job, and wouldn't wax boats for the world. My salary is enough to live fairly well on in Reno as a single person with some debt to pay off.
