Interesting question, isn’t it? In my experience, there is a broad spectrum of people filing bankruptcy in Atlanta. But the people at FancyStats.com have created a graphic with demographic data showing that the average person who filed bankruptcy in 2008 was a married Caucasian, between 35-44 years old, with a high school diploma, who made less than $30,000 a year.
I think you can find more diversity in the numbers than that, so I included their graphic so you can make a decision for yourself.

Economists are predicting that the unemployment rate will drop dramatically in Atlanta in by the second quarter of 2010. I would like to think they know what they are talking about, but I recently read that foreclosures on retail properties and commercial developments are on the rise.
Defaults on these loans will affect the ability of other businesses in the area to secure financing in order to keep growing, which may result in slower recovery than expected. I think that the recovery should be on the way, but if you are scraping by now thinking that you can wait until the recovery in summer next year, you need to prepare for the possibility that you will have to declare bankruptcy.
Come in for a free evaluation of your current situation and see if bankruptcy can help you get your debt under control. It may seem like a drastic step, but you must remember that bankrupcty is not a personal failure. Bankruptcy allows you to clear the burden that the is causing you stress and help you start fresh with the assets you need to begin a life without debt.

The flooding that we have experienced in the Atlanta area over the last few days will likely have effects for months to come.
Cleaning up after a flood is a long, strenuous process that is likely to take a financial toll on the entire metro area. Lost time at work, missing financial documents, and trying to get by with no insurance in the current economic climate may end up costing Atlanta residents more than they can afford.
If your financial situation was close to the edge, the rising flood waters may have swept you under already. If you need help recovering your financial stability, you should consider filing bankruptcy.
The Georgia Insurance Commissioner has offers some tips on recovering from the flood that are on the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Web site.
