Compared with what people in other countries face when they're broke, however, the U.S. bends over backward to help people resolve debts they can't pay.

In the U.S., people unable to pay their bills can file for bankruptcy, which halts all collection attempts, at least temporarily. Most consumer-bankruptcy cases are Chapter 7 liquidation filings, which erase most unsecured debt, such as credit card and medical bills. Higher-income filers may end up in a Chapter 13 filing, which erases remaining debt after the filer has completed a five-year repayment plan.

Here's just a sampling of what other countries have in store:

Dubai: Yes, you can go to jail

Germany: Bankruptcy is a teachable moment

India: Bands of thugs and public shaming

American with AK-47 says he fights off attack in Kabul guest house, allowing 2 dozen to escape

John Christopher "Chris" Turner, a trucker from Kansas City, Mo., described opening fire at the assailants as the guests he was protecting huddled in a laundry room at the back of the building.

"I am armed. I carry an AK-47 and I kept firing it to keep the attackers away from the group I was guarding," he said, describing how he shot from the entrance of the laundry room. The group later jumped over a back wall to take refuge in a house behind the guest house, he said.

It was not possible to reach others who had been staying at the guest house to verify Turner's account. They were being evacuated to Dubai for counseling

He told reporters that he was a trucking contractor hired by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Two men jumped out of the guest house and broke their legs and that a fire engulfed much of the building during a two-hour gunbattle between the assailants and Afghan policemen
