I am sure people can file bankruptcy for themselves but there are so many Attorney’s out there and the price is relatively inexpensive.

@CheeseburgerParade23 what you think is a downside may not be. If you had filed when you started struggling your credit would already be fixed.

there’s always money in the banana stand.

Agreed, bankruptcy is a tool provided to Amercians.

Mscmatt, you could not be more mistaken. I think people should be able to file bankruptcy once a year. Could you imagine how people would really go for it with great ideas. Do you know why the model T was the first mass production car? The reason why was because A through S failed. Go look how many times Henry Ford had to file for bankruptcy. I don’t know about you but If my Heirs end up owning a professional football team I doubt they will consider me the scum of the earth. good luck

@stayjit1 Unfortunately we are stuck with our current system.

@stayjit1 it really is insane when you think of the countries that have National Health Care.

I shake my head when I hear of Americans going bankrupt because of medical bills. Get National Health Care you dolts, like every other country in the developed world. Have you not figured out the insurance companies are taking you for a ride ?
