He resigned from his job about 9 months ago (he was asked to leave for cause and chose to resign instead). Since then, he has done very little to get a new job. He says he has sent out a few resumes and done some networking as well as had a conversation with a headhunter. He thinks most jobs out there are beneath him and that he wants something of his level of education and experience, even though he's basically been fired from his last few jobs. He has been living well by borrowing from his parents and living off his credit cards and now it has caught up with him. He spends most of his time at the gym. He isn't paying child support or anything else to his exwife.
He just retained a lawyer to help him file for bankruptcy. He says the lawyer assured him it would be no problem. I'm amazed. Can you really do that? Don't you have to show that you have been trying to get a job or have been trying to live within your means? I'm not sure if he really can get another high-paying professional job with his history, but it wouldn't kill him to do something less glamorous. Is he going to be rewarded for his living irresponsibly all this time? -
