Google & Me

By Cathy Moran

Google and BankruptcyInBrief share a birthday, I’ve learned.

I’m sure you saw the similarities in a flash.

The Mercury News reports that Google was founded in 1998, the same year I bought a book and set out to make a web site about bankruptcy.

I knew nothing about programming, and less about web design.  But I knew that there was a crying need for sound information about bankruptcy, the options and the opportunities.  And it wasn’t there when I started writing.

Bankruptcy in Brief grew exponentially, just like the Google empire <g>.  Starting with four pages, I kept writing til it was 150 pages.

This site, Bankruptcy Soapbox,  is the loudmouthed cousin to Bankruptcy In Brief, where I can be opinionated, topical, and colloquial about what’s happening in the world of bankruptcy, debt, and  our economy.

It’s all been fun.

But I sure missed the Stanford class that Larry and Sergei took that resulted in Google.

What Happens To Your Bank Account in Chapter 13

Those considering filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy worry about "what happens to my bank account?" Will the trustee take all the money? How do I pay my living expenses after I file?
