[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1841402, member: 1242"] So ... first time one of your kids screws up you are just gonna abandon them?? I worked for bankruptcy attorneys, a bankruptcy trustee and the bankruptcy division of the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Not only will bankruptcy NOT ruin her life, it is no worse and sometimes a much better option than the other alternatives out there. I've known people who have bought homes while still in bankruptcy. I've known people who've gotten rid of clunker cars that some low-life dealer charged them way too much for and gotten a decent vehicle that could get them back and forth to work so they could pay their bills and keep a roof over their head while in bankruptcy. I've seen folks learn from their mistakes and go on to be better able to cope with their finances after bankruptcy. Not everyone who files for bankruptcy is abusing the system, though I saw plenty of that too. Not from folks like this girl, mind you, but from college educated doctors, lawyers, engineer, politicians, drug dealers, architects, etc. who knew better and had plenty of money but were gaming the system. See, here's the deal. Folks screw up. Folks get screwed over by other folks. She got screwed over by both the car dealer and the insurance agent. That screwing has made it impossible for manage her financial situation without help. Now, I'm not saying two wrongs (or 4 or 5) make a right but I am saying that bankruptcy is not always the wrong thing to do. Of course, some of you folks who are a tad bit more judgemental than I am will see it differently. Way of the world, sir. [/QUOTE]
