“You Could Lose Protection: When you file for bankruptcy, you get something called an "automatic stay." This stops creditors from trying to collect money from you. If you miss payments, you could lose this protection.

Your Case Might Get Dismissed: In the worst case, the court could throw out your bankruptcy case. This means you'd lose all the benefits of filing for bankruptcy.

Creditors Can Start Collecting Again: If your case gets dismissed, your creditors can start asking for money again. They might even try to take your stuff or garnish your wages.”

Why Depending on Social Security is Not a Great ...

“One of the major concerns with relying solely on Social Security is the uncertainty surrounding its future. The program faces financial challenges due to an aging population and a decrease in the number of workers supporting the system. While the government has taken steps to address these issues, such as raising the retirement age and increasing payroll taxes, there is still a level of uncertainty regarding the long-term sustainability of Social Security. Depending solely on this program for retirement income may expose individuals to the risk of reduced benefits or potential changes to the program.”
