Bankruptcy | If I had a little money, then what?

Bankruptcy . Anyone who has been through the bankruptcy process will tell you that it is a tough ordeal to have to endure. Even the concept of it is frightening; nobody wants to have to announce they are going through a period of financial distress. So any resource that puts a positive spin on the situation is bound to be welcomed with open arms. Hearing the phrases ‘bankruptcy’ and ‘positive spin’ in the same sentence may seem a little off the wall, and by no means are we saying that bankruptcy should be taken lightly. Just sometimes during a period of financial hardship, all that’s needed is a little motivational boost…

“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” – Jim Rohn

This is a great quote to help keep things in perspective. Financial distress can, understandably, consume your thoughts, days, nights and overshadow other important things in life. As difficult as it is, sometimes we need to step back and see the bigger picture. Every 60 seconds you spend worrying is another minute of your life you cannot get back. It is possible to recover after bankruptcy, and there are lots of resources available to help you do just that.

“A penny saved is a penny earned.” – Benjamin Franklin

As tempting as it is to spiral into a state of chaos and panic, this is a great opportunity to change your money.  Use your bankruptcy as an opportunity to start living a more frugal lifestyle. In adapting your attitudes and behaviors when spending money, you are creating a great opportunity to start fresh while you are still in the process of filing.

“A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.” – Jonathan Swift

So what does this mean? Once you have conquered your money demons and learned how to most effectively save, budget and manage your money then consider yourself wise! You are successfully planning for your future and aligning your core values with your spending patterns. To be completely consumed and driven by money above all else is not wise, as it means you may miss other important things in life. Ever heard the phrase “don’t be so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”? It really does make sense.

“If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.” – Earl Wilson
