Abstract:

We determine that there are significant differences in 21 of 28 financial actions between Chapter 13

bankruptcy filers and non-filers living in the Middle District of North Carolina. The significant financial

actions fall in the following areas: goal planning, income, budgeting, purchasing, insurance, credit,

savings, retirement, and mortgages. The results of this study can be used to get a deeper insight into

bankruptcy characteristics. They can also be used to restructure financial literacy education efforts to

reduce personal bankruptcy.
