    Picture related ... Or not?

    Tjat aside anaon, just decakre bankruptcy.

    But i think anon's plan will fall at the first hurdle, getting a large loan requires collateral.

      It might work that way in the first life but then when you're reborn you're gonna have really poor credit score and that sucks too in its own way.

        I like how this image smugly pretends like it's above it all when lust and time wasting questions are like 2/5 pillars of the human condition.

        It can get kind of old seeing stuff on social media that's just using every easy trick available to fish for engagement though, especially when now a lot of it is probably bots and various propaganda campaigns. Especially if it's being posted somewhere that people can otherwise have more thoughtful and interesting conversations.

            Happened to a buddy of mine, took out a bunch of loans during covid, and stopped paying rent. he didn’t travel but he lived large, pretty much spent it all on prostitutes and what not, then when the money ran out he couldn’t pull the trigger.

            With a little help he got instituted for a few days and then got some government funded counselling (not in the states obviously)

            He couch surfed for a bit, luckily we have a tight friend group

            He landed back on his feet, still on the hook for all of it and the government started garnishing his wages, But he found a good stable girl who takes care of him and he’s happier than I’ve ever seen him, he works, he takes care of himself. I’m proud of him. He’s come a long way.

                  I've heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you're stuck in Europe and can't pay back the debt for 10 years then like…

                  Then like…what? You have massive debt and can never return? Or we’re pretending Europe is a different planet and you can just “start new”?

                    I know a guy who skipped on nearly a million in debt. Moved overseas and we didn't see him for around ten years. Nice guy. I just wouldn't do business with him. His last check to me was good by the way. He called me and told me to cash it before a certain date and I did.

                          Fun fact: the Big Three US American credit unions have a time horizon of seven years. This is set by law. This fucks me, because all my credit accounts are older than that. But the seven year horizon is good for this guy and folks who have declared bankruptcy.

                            Europe doesn't use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.

                              Clearly not, because $country did all this shit, and capitalism did not collapse, somehow...this time.

                                My understanding is you can absolutely end up with a lien and other such things, so it wouldn't be a good idea unless you're ready to burn every financial bridge with the US for the foreseeable future. But if you're not coming back, then that's that I guess.

                                  At that point why not just declare bankruptcy? If he was couch surfing then he had no assets to lose. Sure bankruptcy fucks your credit for a while but it's better than having nothing and still having your wage garnished. That's literally the situation that bankruptcy exists for. If you somehow get yourself in a truely irrecoverable amount of debt then it's your get out of jail relatively free card.

                                  He did go down that path but he wasn’t fully out of depression by then, as part of it he needed to make some monthly payments to the lawyer as I recall, and because he was still on the fence of offing himself he didn’t keep up with it, and once it’s filed and not followed up with, it’s harder for it to get approved in the future, so he kind of fucked himself.

                                  Also half of the loans were government Covid aid that he applied for even though he wasn’t eligible, he applied to everything and they sent him a lot of money because at that point in the pandemic the government was writing blank cheques that they would just follow up with and scrutinize later.

                                  All of that government money is not eligible to be taken care of through bankruptcy, so he would still owe half of the debt regardless.

                                    Oh so you googled it now? Back down from having heard of people doing it?

                                    Spoiler alert, hasn’t happened! And you haven’t heard of anybody for whom it has! So I stand by my statement.

                                    It’s theoretical nonsense, and credit scores are not the same as creditors, but keep talking nonsense about this “one weird trick” you heard on Facebook!
