A new wave of bankruptcies may hit in 2010, as higher income Americans find themselves unemployed or unable to find work with a comparable salarywe may see more of those individuals seeking bankruptcy protection.
Many whom experienced a decrease in their earnings were hoping for a recovery. They delayed filing bankruptcy because they thought that if they could just hold-on for a few months they would find a new job and be able to repay their debts. Unfortunately, this was not the case for many Americans; who discovered that they may be staying at their lower paying positions longer than they had hoped. And, mortgage payments and credit card debt that was sized for their initial higher income now must be discharged in bankruptcy if they ever hope to get a fresh start, which is possible even with a lower salary.
For many, filing bankruptcy is devastating, but it doesn't need to be thought upon this way.Bankruptcy can offer an excellent opportunity for those who have been "downsized" to get back on their feet and begin enjoying life again without the burden of substantial debts. Only bankruptcy offers that type of second chance.
