George Kamel: 很多人对破产存在误解,认为它能一键清除所有债务,但实际上破产是一个痛苦且代价高昂的决定。我建议大家在考虑破产前,务必充分了解其潜在的负面影响。破产不仅会成为公开记录,影响你的求职和租房,还会严重损害你的信用评分,使你未来几年内难以获得贷款。更重要的是,破产并不能解决导致你陷入财务困境的根本原因,很多债务仍然存在,需要变卖资产来偿还。因此,我强烈建议大家探索所有其他可行且合乎道德的替代方案,例如与债权人协商、寻求财务教练的帮助、降低开支、出售不必要的物品以及增加收入。 Alan: 我曾经尝试申请破产,因为我欠了大约12000美元的债务,包括一辆汽车贷款。但是,申请破产的费用超过2000美元,所以我最终放弃了。这让我意识到,破产并不是一个轻易的选择,需要仔细权衡其成本和收益。
