    People feel guilt about BK or think it is for bad people because they have been taught to feel that way by the greedy people who run their country. They shame people from filing BK because they want to keep as much money as possible and keep you as poor as possible. But if you see life for what it is - a game where the rules are stacked against you - it helps to get through life easier. Religious people really perpetuate the idea by claiming BK is some sort of sin. Don't listen to these people. Life is a game. Play it and look for the loopholes. Life is so much better when you realize this.

    Thank you for the video. It gave me some hope. I am at my wits end. Considering filing, but terrified at the same time. Guilt, shame, all the feelings.

    I am pondering ch 7. But I have money in Robinhood investing that can be taken by the trustee. It's all I have and can not lose it. I want to move it to a Roth IRA so ch 7 cant touch it. How long after I move it should I wait to file ch 7 so the move is past the "you're hiding stuff" time limit?
    I know it's an asshole move to make but its only 3k and I need it for retirement I'm trying to build up. I'm already 47 and that's all the money I have.

      It may depend on which chapter your Bankruptcy is filed under. If you are filing a Chapter 7 case, the Discharge would issue and future income would not be involved. If filing a Chapter 13 the future income may be an issue. Feel free to contact me at (423)267-8000 to discuss.

      I'm 99% sure you would have to file for bankruptcy together or not at all (in most countries, at least). Yes, you'll most likely have to show your taxes as well as a whole bunch of documents for all your other debts. They'll go through your life with a fine-tooth comb before they let you of Scott-free of all your debts.

      @KGS-mu6iw 5 років тому

      Yes. You can file separately without your spouse. They will consider your spouse's income to determine which type of bk you are able to file. But, if your loans or credit cards are in your name only, not joint accounts, the bk won't go against his credit, but yours only, if you file by yourself. You are able to claim more expenses and double your exemptions if you file jointly. It also depends on what state you live in and what their exemptions are. You can choose to go by the federal exemptions, or your state's exemptions, which ever you decide will most benefit your situation. Google bk in your state, and you'll find many informative websites. Most bk attorneys offer a free 1 hour initial consultation to determine what your options are, and you may want to talk with several before you make your decisions. Bankruptcy is not for everyone, but a qualified bk lawyer can advise you if it's the right decision for you.

    • @bubbasouth69
      @bubbasouth69 6 років тому +9

      Secured debt like cars and houses won’t be discharged but you can reaffirm on them and keep them. Filing chapter 7 is for getting rid of unsecured debt like credit cards and medical bills that destroy your budget. With the savings you get by getting rid of unsecured debts, it’s much easier to pay for houses and cars. The best thing to do is put the money you no longer have to pay on credit cards, etc. in savings and build an emergency fund. Inevitably, you will have an unexpected major expense such as a car repair or something for your home such as a furnace, air conditioner, water heater, etc. and the emergency fund will save you every time.

      @SariennMusic73 5 років тому

      They will turn off any credit cards when you file bankruptcy. But you can get cc again 6 months and up later. And better cards cuz you won't have debt. BUT BUT BUT do not get a cc if you can not school yourself to use only 10% of the limit or less and do not get one if you can not pay the balance 100% the day after the statement posts.
      If you can stick with 10% of the limit or less a month and pay 100% of the bill the day after statement posts OR as soon as your next paycheck comes, your score will blast off high, FAST.
