Personal bankruptcy filings rose sharply in recent years, with MarketWatch reporting a 47% increase between 2022 and 2025.

The outlet said the pace has reached about 1,500 Americans filing for bankruptcy each day last year.

MarketWatch also urged people to consider alternatives before deciding to file, framing personal bankruptcy as a last-resort option rather than a default decision.
