Bankruptcy – Good Choice? My partner and I are about $300,000 in debt (broken down below) and because of them losing their job over a year ago, our ability to pay this debt down is basically impossible on just my income.

I have 45k in credit card debt and am unsure what to do. Should I look into bankruptcy? Or just put everything I can into paying them off?

( www.reddit.com )

I have 45k in credit card debt and am unsure what to do. Should I look into bankruptcy? Or just put everything I can into paying them off? The debt came from irresponsible spending, a rough break up and change in life circumstances, and vet bills. At this point, I’m holding myself to a fairly strict budget but any advice is appreciated. I currently make 83k/year – roughly $4500 take home pay monthly. My total monthly expenses including rent are about $2500. I don’t own a home and …

( www.reddit.com )

Is filing bankruptcy as bad of an idea as I think it is? I (23f) am considering filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy (reside in GA). I currently have $26,392 in personal loan debt due to my ex & have around $3500 in credit card debt (which at this point will probably increase as I don’t think I can afford the minimums for all the balances). I cannot recoup these costs from my ex as even if I were to try to s…
