After my mom died which she was a single mom my sister was left with the responsibilities of taking care of me and my brother my Dad is alive but he’s a dead beat father, family members 😞 promised to take care of us after my mother passed away but no one showed up to us, God was faithful We learned the hard way and I am now a grown man, I did my highschool which my sister was paying for it I thought after that I was going to go to college and do something but boy oo boy I was wrong situations were tougher than ever. Fast-forward to 2023 on my 21st birthday I decided to take a loan to start a business and it was successful, after six months that was back in August fire broke and my business was gone for good, I was depressed and last month I moved back in with my sister I couldn’t keep up with my bills and everything, I feel like I have failed myself and I am never going to solve my problems 😭 I can’t pay my remaining loan amount I am thinking of killing myself 😞 and just vanish I only have 28 days to complete it I have tried to pay with the small money I am getting but things are not working out as expected

    Like the others say, money is only money. Bankrupcy is a valid option and in not something to be ashamed of. You took out a loan for a buisness and things where going well until a fire! Thats not failure! Thats a freak accident fucking things up for you!! Understandable that this is affecting your mental health but take a step back and realize that you started and ran a business successfully until an accident out of your controll happened. You are 21 and have been put in a bad situation but you have so much left and you will get out of this situation. In the big picture of your life let this be a small dark blip
