Others have suffered financial setbacks as a result of reckless spending or dishonest business practices. To our great relief, each of them was eventually able to regain their financial footing.

Miles Teller borrowed $100,000 for school before he became a Hollywood star. To pay for his tuition at New York University, the actor took a job as a server.
