People who went through bankruptcy

It's like telling them you have cancer or something. They are just afraid that it is going to happen to them or that it's contagious. Don't let it get to you too much, it's just their fear, and has nothing to do with YOU.

BINGO!

May I add many also wish they had the courage to do what you've done.

That is right! I have told a couple of family members in my family about my BK situation and they have been supportive so far. I have not shared my BK with my parents though as I did not want them to get too worried. I will talk with them after my BK process has been completed especially if everything went well.

Anyway, I do understand some of the posters not wanting to share their BK experience to friends and family directly as it is a very personal matter and embarrassing so to speak. I know for this as my brother sat me down and told me to tell him what was going on, you have something on your mind? I was very very embarrassed to tell him about my situation and he said ok not to worry, this must be very hard and overwhelming because this was not intentional to make this happen.

I read a post somewhere on this forum that with the rise of BK filings going up, does anybody think that the trustees will think this is becoming a fraudalent behavior? For those planning on filing BK ahead of time? What if some of the trustees actually read this forum? They have the right to read this forum though, but still

I don't believe geography plays in role on this mindset. I think it's more a function of the quality of your friends and family and your own attitude about your future. You are doing it right.

I agree. Everybody is broke everywhere. Florida is one of the top few states, just like Michigan, where people are foreclosing in droves and have to file bankruptcy in order to protect themselves from those forgiveness of debt 1099's.

Nobody commented on that www.mint.com thing I posted about. How come?

I'll comment on that. I tried Mint a few years ago. I had sooooo many accounts that I gave up. I'd forgotten all about it honestly. I just went back (thanks for that tip...) and setup and all is a breeze now. I have a couple of checking accts and a savings acct. Honestly, I've been looking for something like this for a month or so now. I'm moving back into banking and away from cash on hand so this will help budgeting, no doubt.

Yeah, this is a tool to use after bankruptcy. It would be too much work to track a ton of credit cards on that. I am glad to do it with just my debit card alone.

One issue I see it keeps having is that it always times out and can't download my data. I click FIXIT and it doesn't help.

I had this same problem when I tried to use it about six months ago. That is why I am not using it now. Let me know how you fix the prob and I will start using it again, its a cool tool.

My cousin told me about it and says that he has no issues with it. I have Bank of America and he said maybe the system is getting overloaded depending on the time ot day or something.
