So my roommate is declaring bankruptcy. He stated to me today that he cannot live here anymore. Its too expensive.

I ask, "If you declare bankruptcy arn't you let go of all debt?"

They are changing the law on the 17 of this month, and I will be in before it changes so yes it will all be clean. There is a attorney's fee of $500 and a filing charge of $209.00"

"So you will be getting an income with no worries of paying off debts?"

"Yes"

He gets paid $14/hr. She gets paid , oh I don't know, lets say around $8/hr. So a total of $22/hr. Lets say they get 30 hrs a week each. so 22x60=1320 a week. 1320x4=5280 a month. 5280!!!!!??????????? 5280!!!!!!!!!???????!!?! thats $20 away from 5,300.00, and take off gv't taxes, 5,000.00 AND YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR $600 A MONTH!? I am getting $1,600 a month, if I am lucky, and I can afford $420 + my part of bills and a little garnish debt.

I really dont know.
