Bankruptcy Help - The Effects of Filing and Alternatives to Review First
Filing for Bankruptcy, regardless of whether chapter 7 or chapter 13 may have long lasting negative effects on your credit history for up to 10 years. These negative marks against your credit history may make it difficult to apply for future credit, secure jobs that require a positive credit profile, rent an apartment, purchase a vehicle, etc. The cost of filing bankruptcy can add up over the course of years. Banks or other lenders will most likely charge higher interest rates and fees should they choose to lend money. Bankruptcy is deemed as a high credit risk and therefore to compensate for the risk lenders charge higher interest rates and/or fees. Bankruptcy can have a severe negative impact on relationships or marriages. The stress of bankruptcy leads to many separations or even divorce. Financial problems create much unneeded stress on relationships, filing for bankruptcy does not offer the fresh & clean start that many seek when filing and that carries over into relationship difficulties in many cases.

This is a question that I come across quite often when researching and discussing retirement planning and options. Despite the constant news coverage of impending doom in regards to Social Security many Americans are still counting on their social security payments to support them through their retirement. The sad fact is that it simply isn't possible because the money isn't there. Sadder still is the fact that even if the money were there, it is doubtful that it would be enough to get the average American through their twilight years.
Bad Habits Keep You From Your Financial Goals
Bad habits can ruin any well thought out financial plans. Habits such as your morning coffee, buying lunch at work each day, and of course smoking and drinking, can drain your bank account. They are not as noticeable as someone backing a truck up and loading all your money in and driving away. However, the results are the same.
A woman shared her story with me. Her bad habit was smoking cigarettes. She smoked less than a carton a week. Along with her husband's habit they used about two cartons a week. On occasion the decision had to be made whether to buy food or the cigarettes. Guess which one got bought.
She made the choice to get a job outside her home, to make the food/cigarette decision go away. Now she could have both. Work began to take more and more of her time. She enjoyed the other stuff besides cigarettes the money would buy. A budget was never considered, she spent every dime she made. She had STUFF!
It all came to a halt when her son began failing school. It became important to stay home and help him with his homework. The problem was she had STUFF. She and her husband returned to one income but had much higher bills. Something needed to give.
The stuff had to go, so she started with the obvious, the cigarettes. Not before she tried every way to keep them. She tried to fit them into her budget. She lowered her grocery bill, began hanging her clothes, used only cold water in her washing machine, anything to save money to keep her cigarettes.
She discovered that whatever she did she could not scrimp and save enough. It came down to another decision: Stay at home with her son and quit smoking or, go back to work to keep her habit supplied.
She made the decision to stay home with her son. She stopped smoking. In the three and one-half years since she has quit, she has NOT smoked 27,000 cigarettes. She has saved $7,185.00, more than $1900 a year. She has put that money to better uses.
You know you could find a place for more than $150 a month; I know I could. Don't let your bad habits rule your life and drain your resources. Get them under control and put that saved money to good use in your financial plan.
