Bankruptcy should only be filed if a large amount of debt is unpayable to the point where it is seriously interfering with your daily life. You can hold onto debt for as long as is necessary to pay it off. The only time you are eligible to file bankruptcy according to US law is when you are completely devoid of the ability to pay your bills, cannot foresee any upcoming period of time when you will be able to, and the debt is begin to become detrimental to your everyday financial wellbeing.
