| I'm only mildly ashamed to be declaring bankruptcy. The
knowledge that I'm only taking money from giant soulless
corporations mitigates my shame to a great extent. (And no, I
don't buy that crap about how bankrupcty raises everyone's
interest rates: bankrupcty rates are at their highest, interest
rates are at their lowest. The correlation is loose at
best.) I can honestly say that it was a mistake that I tried my
hardest to fix by paying back, but after the latest career
disaster, a friend of mine convinced me that we are the
people these laws were created for.
No, the knot in my stomach is the fear that we've forgotten
something. It's an agonizingly complicated process. I'm amazed
that anyone stupid enough to screw up their money as bad as
we did can be smart enough to weave through this process. Or
have enough money. Good golly, you could go bankrupt filing for
bankruptcy.
I'm worried that we may have gotten our information screwed up
with one particular creditor and somehow end up still owing them
money. Oh, and there's that little issue of my wife's
nervous breakdown manifesting itself in a big spending binge
last autumn.
Well, off to court. |
