Thanks for your post. Yes, it was very helpful. It takes the scariness out of going bankrupt. Talking about this seems to be quite a taboo, like it’s ome of those things we just do t like to talk about, a bit like death. But we do need to discuss these things. I have fought against it for so many years and it just doesn’t feel so bad after that the chat. I agree with you thatit just feels like the end of the world, Many people have done it, including 2 in my direct family and my sons business partner did it, for much more than I will. There is life afterwards and as I never use credit and think the credit system is a capitalist trap for people, on that level it won’t bother me. I sound more and more like a raving communist but I am actually serious in that credit is a massive trap. Where else can you be paying 300 a month on a large irresponsibly given credit limit and yet only 50 quid pays the actual debt. That was my p.oght on just,one card and withthis addiction when the real cash runs out it will use every pound of credit we have on credit cards.
Well today I am feeling that all things are possible, that recovery is possible and that resurrection of the Phoenix from the ashes is possible. I had good wishes sent to me from my mum and sister, who remembered the date when I only mentioned it once, and my lady GA friend. I just have to sort out my energy levels.
