It feels good to prioritize saving money above paying debt.

Many people have accumulated debt during the period of the Coronavirus pandemic. Upon expiration of federal programs such as the unemployment bonus and eviction moratorium their financial circumstances may have changed so that the debt they accumulated is no longer manageable. Fortunately there are many business hiring and offering competitive wages, however those wages may not be so competitive as to provide for the timely resolution of debt that has been accumulated. The laws of the U.S. provide a solution to this hardship termed Bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy eliminates the most common types of debt which include, but are not limited to, debt from credit cards, medical bills, and past-due-rent. In addition to eliminating debt, bankruptcy also allows filers to keep certain debts that are necessary to maintain possession of collateralized property like a home or vehicle.
Saving wealth is vital to obtaining a better standard of living. For young people wealth is a means of undertaking a business venture. For middle-aged and elderly people, wealth is a means of retirement. A history of financial hardship and accumulation of debt is detrimental to the ability to save wealth. Bankruptcy can eliminate that detriment.
