Money problems are stressful.
It’s not an understatement to say that money issues come with a lot of emotional baggage. We often meet with people who felt so overwhelmed by their debt problem that they ignored it for a long time: ignoring the pile of late bills, the collection phone calls, maybe even ignoring lawsuits for not paying their debts.
Some people are reluctant to explore bankruptcy because of the emotional baggage of money issues. But bankruptcy is not shameful. Bankruptcy is a financial decision. Bankruptcy is a way to deal with your debt problems head-on. And Bankruptcy is a temporary situation.
Look At Your Financial Options As A Business Issue
When exploring your debt relief options, we encourage you to not let your emotional responses sway your decisions. Your emotions are valid, but making the right financial decision for you and your family is a fact-based decision.
Ask yourself the following:
- Can you repay your debts in a reasonable amount of time?
- To be able to reasonably pay off your debt, would you have to forego important purchases or saving money?
- What assets and belongings would be at risk if you file for bankruptcy? Understand that many people get to keep all or most of their belongings through bankruptcy.
