I’m reaching 24 years old and preparing to file bankruptcy. I made bad decisions with credit cards from age 18-22. I’m a full time nursing student with about 3 years left. I’ve been looking for a job and will likely only be making min. wage when i do find one. I can’t even make one minimum payment to one single creditor at this point. I feel like I have no other option but bankruptcy. I am scared that it will “ruin” me.. that I will be unable to have the things I want when I finish school and can actually afford them. After reading this it made me feel alot better. I never want a credit card ever again, but will I be able to buy a home and car someday? I just want to make the right decision. Thanks

I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy last year. Like Jenna, I was getting offers for car loans and credit cards even before I knew I was discharged. I sleep better, I’m making better decisions and life has improved dramatically for me.
