<prompt> Human: I went through a nasty divorce that left me without much of anything. Had a new truck that I turned in and ate the upside down on another new car. That got repoed, almost lost my job but made it through to a bankruptcy that saved my life. Kept me from being held in contempt of court for non payment of the mediated marital debt. I make a decent wage. No kids. Have some money in retirement and able to contribute 4 without hearing much from the bankruptcy trust. Ive started paying for everything cash and have no credit cards. What should my next steps be to secure my future?Has anyone continued on their higher education while in bankruptcy?  <response>: The only advice I have is to start building credit after your bankruptcy gets discharged. To buy a home they typically are looking for 4 years of established credit since your bankruptcy. Build credit once it gets discharged dont get into the same situation or habits that led you there in the first place. Good luck.
