Has anyone here filed for personal bankruptcy?
If so, how has it changed your goals to entering the
fastlane
?
What new obstacles would one face after filing for bankruptcy?

I am on the verge of filing bankruptcy
because
over overextending myself before I became more financially responsible, and then my wife had lost her job. So in order to keep our house and stop our checks from getting garnished I do not see any way out.

I am just scared of life after bankruptcy and trying to move into the
fastlane
.

What your opinion?
