Many times when people are faced with impending debt, they start looking for shortcuts to save money–using coupons and sales to buy groceries and other necessities, making sure to turn off all lights and appliances when they are not being used, or letting a few bills slide in hopes of catching up on the payments [...]

Not too long ago I wrote about how divorce is one of the three leading causes of bankruptcy–along with medical bills and the loss of a job–in Wondering what you should do when dealing with divorce as well as bankruptcy?

See, we’ve already established some strong similarities between you and the Fresh Prince! One likeness that might come as a surprise to you, however, [...]

A common question I get from my clients is if filing bankruptcy will have any effect on their student loans. Unfortunately, filing bankruptcy does not eliminate or reduce your student loans.

To cope with the current state of our economy people will often take on extra shifts at work or cut back on frivolous spending.
