  • More Than Expected!

    I found the firm's representation to be more than what I expected. I was always kept in the loop, all my questions were answered (whether or not I asked more than once the same question), and I felt completely supported by the firm staff when going through this (at times) scary ordeal. Thank you again.

Talking About Bankruptcy With Family And Friends

bankruptcy in Sacramento, it can be hard to discuss the decision with loved ones, especially if they don’t understand your choice. But approaching this conversation cautiously and thoughtfully can help you discuss your decision in a way that will help your loved ones understand. Let’s take a look at a few tips on how you can talk to friends and family about bankruptcy.

  1. Bankruptcy and morality. One of the toughest challenges you may face when considering bankruptcy is the judgment you feel, whether real or imagined.  You want to pay your debts, and that’s natural. But sometimes it’s not possible no matter what you do—maybe you lost a job, had a medical emergency, or simply got in over your head financially. Whatever your reason for filing bankruptcy, there’s no need for you to judge yourself harshly or to take the judgment of other to heart.  Remind your friends and family that filing bankruptcy is not a moral choice, it’s legal one—a legal choice that many Americans make each year. Even some of our wealthiest and most esteemed historical figures have filed bankruptcy. Did you know Henry Ford and Abraham Lincoln both filed bankruptcy?  Yes, even Honest Abe needed help with his debts.
  2. Discuss the benefits. If you’re married and need to make a decision about bankruptcy with your spouse, discuss the benefits of filing.  Bankruptcy can help protect your assets, future income, retirement, and the legacy you leave behind for your children by paying off or discharging debts in a way that doesn’t break you financially. Who wants to be hunted by old debts that pop during their retirement or when they’re ready to send their kids off to college? Bankruptcy puts debts to bed so that your future can be more financially stable.
  3. Discuss your transformation.  Bankruptcy doesn’t just change your finances for the better, it also can transform your attitude and approach to money. The bankruptcy debtor education program offers valuable budgeting and personal finance information that can help you avoid running into new money problems after bankruptcy. Discuss how you plan to put that knowledge to work for you and your loved ones. A matter of fact, you may want to sit down with your loved ones and go over an outline of what you’re planning for your financial future. Having a plan will help them see how you are using bankruptcy to build a brighter future.
  4. Include them.  Once you discuss the benefits of bankruptcy, you should include your loved ones when developing a plan for the future. What actions do your loved ones need to take in order for you to avoid past financial mistakes?  Create a budget and a plan that will help you and you loved ones stay on the right track during and after bankruptcy.
