    Filing for bankruptcy is offloading your responsibility to others who then have to pay with their money for your faults.

    It’s a cheap way out for people that do not act responsibly.

    Bankruptcy? Okay, but then lose all saying in your money spending because you just proved you can’t handle it yourself.

      It’s irresponsible for banks to loan money, they pay many people salaries for risk assessment before loaning it. Also their loan is insured so even if you don’t pay it back they write the loss off.

        Indeed. But they want to make money, so they rise the interest rate to make even more money and cut losses on failed debt repayments.

        They solely exist to make money by extorting the people in debt. Who would have guessed?

        So? Never have debts.

        “Consumer” debts should ethically not exist as consumers just consume the money and are therefore not able to pay it back as it is not an “investment” debt, which has the chance to succeed.

    • you do realize that bankruptcy does have consequences, right? for one, it’s nearly impossible to find a new place to live if you’ve ever declared bankruptcy. If you work in certain sectors, you can lose your job. if you’re a government worker, you’d lose your security clearance or probably even a public trust. If you lose your job, new companies that might hire you would likely do a credit check for some reason and find you unqualified because of that bankruptcy.

        So it’s double-triple bad to have debt? Then manage the finances, assess the risks, cut unrealistic expectations that will toss you into the debt spiral, because it’s triple-bad. Who is to blame?
