Honestly, if you're young with no real assets then bankrupcy can be a really easy one time get out of jail free card financially speaking. If you have no big assets then all it really does is cost a bit for the lawyer and completely fuck your credit for 7 years. But if you would have been spending those 7 years spending all of your money trying to manage debt and fending off debt collectors with a stick anyways then neither of those negatives actually make things any worse for you.
Honestly these issues will never be addressed unless those in power are willing to accept that redistribution of wealth is a necessity at this point for society to not collapse.
