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.

So here are the posts readers found most useful this year in thinking about finances and bankruptcy.

By topic, it was a pretty mixed bag: pandemic driven topics like forbearance alongside issues of choosing a bankruptcy chapter, getting the most out of bankruptcy, and understanding what a bankruptcy lawyer does.

But, seriously, that’s what our lives look like. Here’s to a simpler world in 2022 and to the clarity to tackle financial challenges.

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

About The Soapbox

You've arrived at the Bankruptcy Soapbox, a resource of bankruptcy information and consumer law.

Soapbox is a companion site to Bankruptcy in Brief, where I try to be largely explanatory and even handed (Note I said "try").

Here, I allow myself to tell stories and express strong opinions on how I think law should work for the consumer and small businesses when it comes to debt.
