Is'nt this a bit stupid?

Some of this nonsense that seems to be happening on this forum right now.

Lets not all forget. Bankruptcy is THE very last option to consider, when there is no alternative. All other options have been exhausted. The end of the road, for some. I urge anyone to consider very carefully, before taking this option. You will know, when there is no other option.And yes, as its been said today, it can affect many areas of your life, including your health. It affects real people and their very real lives.

    Very good reminder NH.....& so very true.

    Would like to add that this board is not perfect but it is a haven for people to whom bankruptcy is, or is soon to become, a reality.

    The guys who post here are just ordinary people who speak mostly from their own first hand experience & come from a variety of backgrounds.

    We all have our own way of support...personally I waffle on too much whereas others reply in short but effective replies. We are a mix of people all here with one aim...to help each other get through this.

    Thankyou for posting this NH.

    SSA...see my replies to queries further back down the list....one was to an OP who really wanted to know if we'd 'do'BR again?

    If the 'pain' was worth repeating?

    As you know, I have never seen BR as a negative process.

    I have always viewed BR as a process that allows folk to underline all that was past....and the trauma that went with it.

    Would it really be like me to consider BR as a 'last resort?'

    Nope...I viewed it as a new beginning.

    and I still do......life...for me, anyway, is so much better post-BR....as if I've emptied the hoover bag of my past life.

    I have concerns about Nohope's view that if there were some alternative, BR's should consider that first?


    In my eye's,[providing criteria are met, of course...for BR]....any other option merely clings onto things from the past, which really are millstones around our necks.

    For many years, I had an underlying negative view of how my [financial] world was moving....

    then, after circumstances drastically changed, I found the impetus to do something positive about my situation.


    We do this when, for example, husband and wife agree to part....a positive move..


    so I did when I decided I must declare BR...again, a positive move.

    Any move which allows us to shed an unhappy situation is positive.


    besides, my string of replies seems the only new thing so far???
