You Are Not Alone I recall the feelings that ran through me when I felt compelled to file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, I felt as though I was an outcast and ashamed that I could not handle my obligations. For a very long time I barely admitted it to myself much less my friends. Now I realize that I did not have a solid handle on my finances and it took a couple small set backs to put me into the position of bankruptcy. (3 comments)
