As I make this post, there are exactly 1,275 specific conversations going on about Utah Bankruptcy. Over 18,000 cases are filed each and every month in my back yard. I make a few other clicks and find 9,844 specific conversations about California Bankruptcy at the same time, where over 218,000 filed each month. I personally hate this subject (only lawyers seem to like it), but I’ve been watching the flow of conversations on the internet and I had to post a comment.
The nation is going to pot and there are a great number of families that will be exposed to the painful process of bankruptcy.
(shivers with fear and dread at the word…) Having to do this before myself, I guess I wanted to put in a positive plug for those who are at the precipice of this decision.
There’s a stigma associated with bankruptcy that seems to hurt our hearts. A feeling that we have in some way failed when bankruptcy comes knocking at our doors. That we have let others down. We forget that the laws were put in place for people who ‘can’t’ pay, not ‘won’t’ pay. A huge difference where intent does count.
I may regret this later, but I want to help anyone who is contemplating this path by sharing what my family went through and walk you through the choices we had to make. It saved us a great deal of heartache, a great deal of embarrassment and a TON of money.
Can’t make the decisions for you, but hopefully you’ll see that you’re not alone in having to make a difficult one.
