km10j8baker asked:


I have filed chapter 13 bankruptcy and I have not filed my income taxes yet. I have been told that the bankruptcy court can take your refund if you have one due to you. Is that true?

personal finance8 What would make you read a personal finance blog?
jlstitt asked:


I’m thinking of starting a personal finance blog. The types of topics I plan to cover are: budgeting, building wealth, risk management, asset management, and other topics that, admittedly, can be a bit “dry” to many people. I want to attract a wide variety of people, not just bean-counters; I’d like it to be for everyone.

What would it take to make you read a blog like that? Humor? Some additional, more interesting topics? Bios of wealthy people? Contests?

bankruptcy18 How long after bankruptcy shall I wait to apply to refinance my mortgage?
Penny asked:


I filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and I have been paying on it for so long now that I have a chance to pay it on out. I have about a year left to go if I don’t pay it on out. I want to refinance my house. If I pay my bankruptcy and my case is discharged, how long shall I wait before applying for a loan to refinance my home?
