<prompt> Human: So a while ago I posted about my dire financial situation and how my only options are suicide or bankruptcy. Well you might be happy to hear I chose bankruptcy. Well not quite. I live in Germany and theres a pre-step called Schuldenbereinigung. Isnt German awesome... it means cleaning up your debt. Basically I talked to a lawyer. Hes getting in touch with all the banks I owe money to and is offering them each a percentage of my seizable income. How much can be seized depends on what you earn. In my case 680 can be taken away and out of those 680 three banks will have to be paid. I dont know yet if the banks will accept this. I sure hope so because then at least I could avoid legal bankruptcy. I havent told anyone irl about my situation. My friends and family think I earn a good salary and dont have to worry. They ask me to go out and plan trips and all that and all last night I lay awake wondering how Im gonna make 50 last for 5 weeks for food. I guess its gonna be a lot of potatoes for the next few years... In all seriousness Im totally freaking out and I dont think Ive ever been so worried in my entire life. Im glad Im doing something about the situation though. Why am I posting this? I dont know. I just needed an outlet.  <response>: Cross post to and they might know some services to help you out.
