Life After Bankruptcy | Let's get it going!
By Alan Thomas
Let's begin your life after bankruptcy¡now!
Ok, so you just received your discharge papers from
the bankruptcy court. Now what? Are you going to go
into the corner and hide? Or are you going to see this
situation as the most liberating opportunity you have
had in years. I suggest the latter¡and for one
reason¡I have seen literally thousands of people
begin their life after bankruptcy with greater
opportunities than ever before. Let me explain.
Beginning your life
after bankruptcy can sometimes seem a little
daunting, but I am here to tell you that you are
immediately going to recognize that you are in a much
better situation then you might imagine.
First, you are not likely to fall into many of the same
traps that you fell into before¡this I am sure of, as we
have interviewed literally tens of thousands of
individuals that have gone through a recent
bankruptcy. The reaction we hear most from
individuals that have recently discharged and
bankruptcy¡and are about to begin their life after
bankruptcy¡is, ¡°I have learned so much through this
process¡I can't imagine ever going through that
again.¡±
I mean seriously, the education alone of going through
that situation is enough to keep all of us on the
¡°straight and narrow¡± in building our life after
bankruptcy as stable as possible.
Next, you have most likely learned quite a bit about
sacrifice and ¡°how to trim the fat.¡± Often times we find
ourselves adding an expense here and an expense
there and before we know it, we are in a bit over our
heads. Then, to compound matters, we begin to rob
Peter to pay Paul, driving us now into debt that we can
not get out of without some miracle from above.
In speaking to those that are building their life after
bankruptcy, one of the most common things I hear is ¡°I
will NEVER buy another subscription, apply for another
department store credit card, or cave in to the
temptation of a pay day loan in order to get something
I want now.¡± People have learned sacrifice and
patience in a world of immediate gratification¡and this
is worth its weight in gold.
Finally, for those that are rebuilding
life after bankruptcy
that came down that result of unforeseen
circumstances, such as medical bills, an accident,
unemployment, etc, this is a group of people that has
also learned more than they could ever imagine. In
our discussions over the years with this group, one
thing is clear, these people will never fall prey to these
circumstances ever again. Why do I say
that¡well¡this is what I hear.
¡°I put myself into a situation where I was uninsured,
and now that I have been through a bankruptcy
because of this situation, I will never be uninsured
again.¡± And, ¡°I went through a period of
unemployment, now I have gone back to school to
become more marketable and now have a job paying
$4 more per hour. Life has become so much more
enjoyable.¡± Or, ¡°I was injured on the job last year, and
with the small amount of money you receive from
Workers Compensation, I just wasn't able to make
ends meet. I now have cut 100% of all ¡°stupid¡±
expenses and have begun a serious savings account.
I now have 3 months of my monthly expenses safely
tucked away¡I will never let this happen to me again.¡±
You know, many times when I am talking to people
they actually say that going through bankruptcy was
the best thing that ever happened to them. I believe
it¡really I do.
Begin your life after bankruptcy today, with a totally
new lease on life!
