When you learn NOTHING after filing bankruptcy, this is how you end up $92,000 in debt all over again. In this video, we break down one of the wildest post-bankruptcy debt stories on the internet: $92,589 in total debt just six years after bankruptcy, nearly $3,976 in monthly minimum payments, and roughly $1,800 every single month going straight to interest.

From new car loans to high-interest credit cards, Klarna, Affirm and Bread furniture financing, Upstart, Upgrade, and Avant personal loans, and lifestyle spending that never actually stopped, this is a real-world example of how debt cycles repeat when the root problem isn’t fixed. Bankruptcy wiped the slate clean, but the spending behavior stayed exactly the same.

We walk through the real math behind credit card APRs, why minimum payments keep people trapped for years, how debt consolidation loans often make the situation worse, and why “building credit” means nothing if spending is out of control. This video also breaks down debt-to-income reality, convenience spending, instant gratification, and how small financial decisions compound into overwhelming debt over time.

This is personal finance commentary meant to help you avoid the same mistakes, because the future version of you always pays the price. If you’re trying to pay off debt, rebuild after bankruptcy, stop overspending, or finally escape the minimum payment trap, this breakdown will hit hard — but it’s necessary.
