Karen asks:

Q: Would it be better to take money out of my 401k than to file bankruptcy?

A: Karen that will depend on your specific circumstances, but I will say this – your Georgia bankruptcy exemptions will protect all of your money that is in 401k (and most similar) accounts. Therefore, you should think long and hard before taking money necessary for your retirement when the tax penalties are so steep.
