Why Bankruptcy Might Be the Smartest Choice You Can Make - Episode 140

In today's episode, I sit down with Barry Levine, a bankruptcy lawyer with more than 40 years of experience, to talk about what really happens when people file for bankruptcy. We break down the fear and confusion around money problems and explain how bankruptcy can be a tool to get a fresh start. I also share my own story of going through bankruptcy in my 20s and what I learned from it. Barry gives simple, honest advice on what to expect, how the process works, and why it’s not the end of the world.
