The only way bankruptcy can help you is if there is no other option for you and you use bankruptcy as a last resort since it ruins your credit for about seven years. New rules have also been put into place concerning bankruptcy, which make bankruptcy seem even more like a last resort. Not only does it still ruin your credit, but the process takes much longer now due to tests they make you go through, thus resulting in bankruptcy attorneys being more expensive as well.

 

Back in the day, just about anyone could file for bankruptcy, but according to the new rules made in the year 2005, you now have to qualify! If your household income is more than the median household income for a family the same size, you will not qualify, and you will be required to take a means test. A means test is a test that determines how much extra money you could have leftover after all reasonable expenses (expenses of their choosing) are subtracted.

Depending on how much money you have leftover from this test will determine how much (if not all) of your debt will need to be paid off.

 

Even if you do qualify for bankruptcy and all of your debt is wiped away, you will still be required to attend counseling to help you better manage your finances. If you do not qualify for bankruptcy, you will be put on a payment plan, one that will enable you to pay off the decided portion of your debt. Also keep in mind that if you file for bankruptcy, you cannot file again for another 10 years. If bankruptcy is your last resort, however, and you think you may qualify, all of your debt can be gone, or at least a good portion of it.

Many people ask me how it’s possible to have a fundraiser starting with no money. They think they have to have money to advertise, to pay volunteers, or to pay for items to be given away. The answer is simple but requires some out of the box thinking.

Here are the steps.

1- Write down your goals. Be specific. How much money do you want to raise, by what time, etc? How much will you have to raise per day?

So you need to save money, who doesn’t? The problem is that most of the money saving tips on the internet are either all the same or simply not achievable. We have put together some tips which are guaranteed to save you money. Achievable? You can do anything if you put your mind to it…

Save yourself a fortune, stop smoking

I don’t know how anyone can afford to smoke in this day and age. The price of a packet of cigarettes could be far better spent (or saved) on things you need. If you add up how much money you actually spend per year on cigarettes, it might make you think twice about how much you smoke.

Don’t drink as much

Okay, this isn’t revolutionary but again, if you calculate your yearly spend on booze, you might think twice before you order your next round.

Prepare your own meals

Ready meals may seem like the answer to your prayers but they simply are not. Not only are the bad for you, they also cost a lot and savings can be made to your wallet and your health if you start to cook your own meals. It doesn’t have to be a chore, you should take pride in your cooking and see it as a chance to get creative.

Check your mortgage deal

Let’s face it, unless you come into some money, the biggest expenditure you are likely to make is your home. It is for this reason you must make absolutely certain that you’re not getting ripped off on your mortgage deal. There are a vast amount of mortgage products available and some are better suited to others, make sure yours is the absolute best solution to your circumstances.

Don’t pay the store price

This might not always be possible (for example in your local supermarket) but you should always try and get money off wherever you can. This works really well in smaller shops where you’re dealing with the owner rather than someone who’s probably not authorized to give you a discount. For example last week I bought a new mountain bike and I spent quite a lot of money. I wasn’t just buying the bike either, I went for the helmet, the shorts the lot. I could tell he didn’t want to lose this sale, so I got as much off as I could and then I got him to throw in a few freebies too.

It is critically important to address your messy finances if you do not want to face serious problems in the not too distant future. It does not have to be that difficult and the discipline involved in putting in place a sensible, achievable budgeting plan will serve you well for the rest of your life.

There’s a simple workaround to this rather disheartening problem, and it involves the accountants equivalent of Dear Diary.

At the end of the day, simply discipline yourself into writing down all your expenditure, right down to that seemingly miniscule purchase of a box of mints. There are many advantages to this chore.

1) It’s all down on paper
Putting it all down gives you an easy to track record, if you do ever decide to sit down and follow the money trail. And it certainly is a lot easier than racking your brains about just where you had dinner last Friday, and at what cost.

2) Automatic Brakes
Writing down your daily expenditures can often be a real eye-opener. Suddenly, expenses that seemed perfectly reasonable at the time can seem prohibitively exorbitant in a cold, clear frame of mind. And on the morrow, you are that much more likely to be rational with your money

3) Get back in shape
Sometimes, expenses are unavoidable. But the simple act of writing them down can leave you very aware about how much money you have left over for the rest of month, if you wish to stick to your plan. And that leaves you that much more likely to stick to your plan, rather than go way over budget.

4) Tracking down IOU’s
Even the most well intentioned of friends forget to repay that ‘little loan’ that you had made a while ago, and you yourself are equally liable to do so. But a daily diary of your expenses can help you keep track of these loans, which can add up pretty quickly.

It’s not the easiest, or let’s face it, even the most pleasant thing to do. But a track of your daily expenses can help you get your finances back on track pretty quickly. Go ahead and give it a try.
