Live a Smart & Happy Life Post-Bankruptcy

Post by Christopher Migliaccio Leave a Comment

If you’re filing for bankruptcy, you can use it as a springboard for a better, happier life. But that means making smart financial choices after the filing process is over.

Tips for Post-Bankruptcy Life

People who file for bankruptcy no longer are viewed as being branded financially untrustworthy; that stigma is dying. “The purpose of filing is a safety valve,” explains resident scholar of the American Bankruptcy Institute, Roger M. Whelan, as quoted by Bankrate.com. Use it as a safety valve, not a carefree escape route.

Here are few tips for navigating post-bankruptcy challenges and steering your life a positive direction after discharge: 

  • Bankruptcy Tip #1: Live under your means. You’ve heard this time and time again – with good reason. Iit’s the only way to stay out of financial trouble. Budget, stick to it and learn to adopt a more practical lifestyle.
  • Bankruptcy Tip #2: Be a good debtor/consumer. Pay all your bills on time. With a little planning and numerous free, electronic bill-paying options, you can ensure your bills are paid on time.
  • Bankruptcy Tip #3: Start working on a nest egg. Start putting funds in a savings account for emergencies. Having reserve funds available for unexpected major expenses could prevent later financial hiccups.
  • Bankruptcy Tip #4: Rebuild your credit. Don’t be afraid of credit. Learn from any past mistakes, make the decision to be a good borrower and begin taking steps to rebuild your credit, such as getting a credit card or small loan.
  • Bankruptcy Tip #5: Focus on the positive. You are working towards a clean slate. Being free from the shackles of debt feels awfully good. Focus on that feeling when the going gets rough.
