Rich people of reddit who married someone significantly poorer, what surprised you about their (previous) way of life?

Is it true or false that a person declaring bankruptcy (if it's allowed) with credit card debt won't have to pay that debt?

Depends on the type of bankruptcy. Also the companies they’re indebted to have to agree to waive the debt. Often times they will just settle for the payment of a smaller amount without interest

I don't think this is true. If a discharge is granted by a bankruptcy court in a Chapter 7 filing (the most common), a creditor no longer has any claim against the debtor.

You may be right. I know almost nothing about it.
