Life After Bankruptcy
Move Forward & Repair Credit with Our Southaven Bankruptcy Lawyer
There is no question that filing for
bankruptcy is a serious life decision, and one that should not be taken lightly.
While, undoubtedly, there are some initial negative effects of this decision,
there are also steps that you can take to minimize their impact and restore
your financial credibility. Your bankruptcy will appear on your credit
report for 10 years, but by following a few key steps and practicing intelligent
money management, you can ensure that you do not fall back into debt and
that your financial future is secure.
Some key tips for rebuilding your credit and creating a healthy financial
future after bankruptcy include:
- Make sure that all of your bills are always paid either early or on-time,
and in-full.
- Create a strict, detailed monthly budget to prevent yourself from overspending.
- Put aside some of your disposable income into savings every month in order
to have an "emergency cushion."
- Apply for a credit card with a low balance.
- As much as possible, use cash or a debit card for everyday purchases.
- Before buying potentially unnecessary items, first ask yourself if you
really need them.
- Create a detailed spending report of all your monthly purchases in order
to understand how you spend your money, and how to adjust any bad spending
habits that you discover.
