So I used to run a successful construction business but last year an accident happened during an assignment & not only did the business go bankrupt but also went into huge debt from all the legal stuff I had to pay off. Sold house, sold cars, sold everything valuable. Now I have a day job which doesn’t pay super well. I have a son and I feel like I’m letting him down, even though he’d never admit it; on the contrary, he always comforts me & tells me he’s happy with what we have. I basically cut off all of my personal expenses to spend the money on him. I feel so bad everyday.

    Rich people go bankrupt all the time and it doesn’t make their quality of life any worse.

    Trump has been bankrupt at least six times.

    The problem isn’t that you went bankrupt, the problem is that you can only do it once before losing everything. The problem isn’t you, it’s the system that’s fucked up.
