An acquaintance filled bankruptcy and lost their house this summer. I never will understand that. They lived in their house for at least 20 years so there had to be plenty of equity built up but who knows if they had a second mortgage or what. Still I can't see their payments being that much because it's a crappy little place. Less than their monthly beer cost. They both have decent paying jobs so that's not the problem. They were low lives to begin with and just decided not to pay any bills for over a year. Thinking back over the years, coworkers and such who have filed bankruptcy have all been low lives and filed just so they wouldn't have to pay their bills and they got to keep their new vehicles.

When it comes to personal finance and marriage, you never know what goes on behind closed doors.

Sounds like these two enjoyed spending money. Perhaps money they did not have?
