What is the point of people being allowed to declare themselves bankrupt?

October 30th, 2009 — 09:43 am
bankrupt
batteryacid asked:


Is it a tool to stimulate the economy, because so many people mismanage their money and too many people in debt would create a freeze in spending and enterprise?

I ask because it seems unfair that people who take on the responsibility of credit can just declare themselves bankrupt,
with light penalties, such as not being able to buy a house for several years, a blot on their credit record etc

sakaton06 asked:


For example, how much are prices of stocks affected by institutions (e.g. funds) and how much by small personal traders. If they recommend a stock in a financial magazine (e.g., Kiplinger), will it affect its price significantly – individual traders wanting to buy it? How big volumes are day traders – 10%, 20% or 0.2%?

meggiecakess asked:


I’m 19 years old, I go to school, I’m a waitress at Applebees, I have my own credit card which I pay on time, and I would like to take out a personal loan so I can do some work on my car. It needs a bunch of new parts. I also need to get a few things for it. The loan wouldn’t be more then $2,500 to $3,000. What’s the easiest way to take out a loan where I will most likely get approved?
