Because the amount owed is still substantial, there is no way to pay this off before I'm 63. Since I'm a self-employed contractor, I don't have a lot of financial benefits (ie matched savings plan, etc) and income of $100,000 with lots of bills, tuition payments, etc.
If there are any bankruptcy attorneys out there, I would appreciate some advice. I am concerned that I won't be able to keep up the payments as I get older and won't be able to generate my present income.
If I file bankruptcy, would that eliminate the debt? I have never missed a payment and always in time. The IRS won't lower the debt because personal debt is not their problem. I understand that. Any solid advice from attorneys out there? Not worth cashing in investments.
If you have that much debt why would you be a self employed contractor.
