“filed bankruptcy for $21,531 in cc debt”

I accumulated $43,675 in new debt after bankruptcy, including school debt, auto loan, and credit card debt

What I wish I knew
"I should've changed my bad habits and gotten a second job"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't trust yourself with new credit if you haven't changed your spending habits"
