You understand being able/need to file bankruptcy is a bad thing...it's not something to strive for? It will effect you in many ways more than the debts you have now, for a long time. One main indicator is not just debts....but assets. Having a lot more debt than assets, more than you can ever hope to pay off, so much that you may drown in them, and assets that you don't mind losing, would indicate bankruptcy is an option. So having say $1,000,000 of debt is unimportant if you have $990,000 of assets....you would go bankrupt over $10,000. Doesn't overcomeable to me. Bad choice. So remember, not only do you get rid of many debts, you will also lose many things of value in bankruptcy. Things that may have even more value to you than the bankruptcy court will grant you for them!
