Is retirement money safe in bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Jeffrey Solomon
Retirement money" is generally exempt from creditors. You do need to clarify with a consultation with an attorney what you mean by "retirement money". Unless there is a fraudulent transfer issue, you can typically protect an IRA, 401k, and other retirement assets. Mere savings that you want to use in retirement would not be protected in bankruptcy.
