Recent data on the Ministry of Law’s website showed that 1,395 bankruptcy orders were made in the first 10 months of the year, surpassing the full-year totals recorded each year from 2020 to 2024.

If we always try to live within our means, then the likelihood to be bankrupt is way lower. If one doesn't earn as much but wants to spend way beyond what one earns, then bankruptcy will follow. Managing one's own finances is very important. Don't be like that bank director in the other story, who has only $13k left while his wife and kids spend $30k per month. 🤣🤣🤣

Times are really bad these days and to exit from bankruptcy life is tougher than suggested by lawyers that individuals have a chance to "reset their financial lives once they eventually exit the bankruptcy process". You need opportunity and trust from your surroundings to stand up again but in this cold hard world you have to figure it out yourself.
