When you say your too broke to pay others back as you promised them you would....your available assets need to be used to pay off those debts...although those people are still hurt (sometimes badly) for your failure. (Because understand, going bankrupt means your not just failing, but a failure.) Now, don't be shocked by this...because heaven forbid something (like paying or performing on your promises) may impinge on your having what you want and feel you deserve...you may have to give up the Lear, the second house...etc.
