    You can design awesome "Mobiles" out of all those useless credit cards as a reminder of what was.

    Your not filling 2 garbage bags a week with all that junk mail and paying for the disposal.

    Your wallet got much thinner and your back does hurt as much from carrying the plastic around.

    The phone doesn't ring...unless it's someone you want to talk to.

    Even though they shut off your online access to your accounts...they still fill your inbox with junk email...that includes the cute comment "To opt-out of these emails, just log on to your account...???

    Although dirty and over 80% of it has traces of cocaine on it...paper money actually feels pretty good.

    You now have time for the important things in life...you and your family...since doing bills now takes minutes and not days.

    Aside from the fears of the BK process, you actually feel pretty good, life is beginning to be enjoyable.

    You really don't need to argue about money...it's now obvious you don't have any, you need to strategize your budget (include savings), live by it, wait a few months and look at the rewards.

    Did you ever notice that after you file BK.....the incredibly overbearing weight you carried around for years is finally lifted...you now have a chance for a "Fresh Start", use it wisely, remember we only get one life to live...how will you decide to live?


I just thought this forum could use some humor (and fact) from the BK process. It is a serious decision, as I read about all the tragic events and the stress that it puts on everyone close to us. It is important for all of us to realize we have been give the opportunity for a "Fresh Start"...use it wisely.
