Remember, once you max out your credit cards, to declare bankruptcy so you don't have to pay all of your bills. Don't worry, someone will pay for you.
Not anymore. Now you have to repay the debt even if you declare bankruptcy...you just get time to do it.

You know, I wish we'd known that when my mom was struggling under thousands in credit card debt right after my dad died. She paid every cent back, which I respect and admire.
My grandmother died in 2, at the age of 94. The one thing she was the most proud of, right before she left, was the fact that she had paid her own way, all the way, with no help from medicaid, medicare, or any other gov. agency. And she left a little something for her children.
Blackburn, I'm proud of your mom.
