Ten Best Bankruptcy Gems In 2021

What did readers want to know about bankruptcy in 2021? Turns out, a bit of everything.

Looking at the top 10 posts among the 750 posts on Bankruptcy Soapbox, they were equally curious about how bankruptcy works as they were about life after bankruptcy.

Homesteads, taxes, judgment liens are all found in the top ten, along with three posts focused on California community property and homesteads.

Only one of the top 10 is new to the list; all the others were in last year’s top 10. So, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Here’s what drew readers in 2021.

10.	Judgment liens after bankruptcy
9.	Did you get a dismissal or a discharge?
8.	Principles of California community property
7.	What you need to know about spending before bankruptcy
6.	What realtors must know about home sales in bankruptcy
5.	Beware escrowed taxes when getting a forbearance
4.	Are you liable for your spouse’s debts
3.	Fixing your credit report after bankruptcy
2.	How do homesteads work
1.	Avoid taxes on 1099, legally

My wish for 2022 is that those who struggle with debt will consider the relief available through bankruptcy and that we all cultivate healthy financial habits including saving today for old age down the road.
