    How does “life go on” with a bankruptcy and health issues?

      The point of a bankruptcy is to move on. You start off at zero again, but you can start building up assets again.

      As far as the health issues go, because of the bankruptcy and the ACA you probably qualify for medical care under one of the programs.

      Yeah, you get fucked over pretty good. Life goes on because you’re not dead. But everything you had, everything you worked for, is gone. You are left literally with life, not with your life.

      My parents went bankrupt like 4 times and it never seemed to make any difference to them. They’d just move on with life and have new credit debt racked up within a few months.
