You may read about successful upper-class people who are filing bankruptcy and wonder why they are able to file without the shame that many middle-income people experience. People like Donald Trump, who is one of the most successful businessmen alive and has filed bankruptcy more than once, Larry King, one of the premier broadcast interviewers who has won an Emmy Award, Two Peabody Awards, and ten cable Ace Awards, and Abraham Lincoln, who was President of the United States and was known as Honest Abe. The reason is simple: they know that bankruptcy is a financial tool which should be used when needed. They are aware of the fact that filing bankruptcy is not a sign of being a failure or of being irresponsible. Quite the contrary, to file bankruptcy before having ones home go into foreclosure or losing one’s property is a sign of financial intelligence. I mean really take a moment to consider Donald Trump, one of the wealthiest men alive today. He has filed bankruptcy knowing full well that it will be in the news and is not disturbed by this fact. With his economic savvy, he understands that bankruptcy is there for his protection as well as ours.
