Frequently Asked Questions

Your personal financial picture is more like a moving picture: It changes many times because of life changes such as marriage, divorce, buying a home, getting a raise, having a baby or needing a new car. These events happen to everybody all the time and usually consumers adjust to the change and eventually improve their personal financial situation. Sometimes, however, these life events are so severe actions must be taken to help the consumer adjust to a lower income, crippling illness or personal loss.

What's most important in your personal financial situation is to act right away and not compound the situation. For example, it is usually better to obtain forbearance from a bank for your mortgage rather than use a credit line to make the mortgage payments. Having a strong personal financial plan can help you retire early or survive a serious life change. The key is to act now to control your personal finance through the assistance of a certified credit counselor, personal financial advisor or qualified personal friend or relative.
