NEW YORK - U.S. bankruptcy filings resumed their upward climb in the first quarter, nearly equaling their highest level since 2005, as high unemployment and a still-strained housing market squeezed consumers. There were 388,148 filings between January and September, up 17 percent from 330,394 a year earlier, according to data released Friday by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Consumer filings rose 18 percent to 373,541, while business filings edged up 2 percent to 14,607. Filings also rose 4 percent from last year's fourth quarter, the government data show.

One of the most important things to remember when thrift store shopping is to examine the items carefully. Check clothing for stains, tears or missing buttons. Test electronics and appliances for proper function. Inspect to make sure that the item you want has all its necessary parts. Look over furniture pieces for tears and broken legs.

Unemployment as well as financial crisis is on a high roll in the United States and it is a relief for American citizens that President Obama and his government are acting appropriately to overcome it. It is a fact that debt has overpowered the incomes; however, these measures should wipe it off.
