When you’re experiencing financial hardship, it can be difficult to know where to go and who to turn to for help. It’s not uncommon for people in debt to feed a combination of guilt, shame, embarrassment, fear and dread about what their future holds.
Many Australians panic when they discover their only real option is to declare bankruptcy, given the negative stigma around bankruptcy. But the truth is, bankruptcy isn’t as bad as you may think and in fact, is a fantastic option for many people. People say it greatly reduces the stress, anxiety and even depression that can be associated with large amounts of debt.
