Top Ten New Bankruptcy Soapbox Posts of 2021

By Cathy Moran

top bankruptcy posts 2021

Every year, I count up the new posts on Bankruptcy Soapbox, and see how my readership ranked them.

Now, if posts could talk, some might complain that they first saw the light of day in December 2021: it’s not fair to compare their audience with the posts from January. But, as JFK said: life isn’t fair.

Next, I’ll tally up the most popular posts in 2021 from two decades worth of Bankruptcy Soapbox.
