Bankruptcy doesn’t mean you loose everything - here is an article that tells you what you can keep. Exemptions let you keep assets less than a specific dollar amount (such as a bank account or tax refund worth less than $1,000) or a specific type of item, regardless of value (such as a 401(k), or in some states, a family bible or wedding set).
