Why I will be Rude to You After You File Chapter 13

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] I like my clients. I find bankruptcy work rewarding because I can offer positive change to the lives of honest, hardworking people who have an immediate financial problem. However, I can be an absolute pain in the rear end to my Chapter 13 clients after we file and during the two to four month period of time prior to the plan confirmation hearing. Why does this disconnect exist? Why would you want to hire a lawyer who will be demanding and abrupt? The answer is simple – if you want your Chapter 13 to work, you and I have a lot...

WTFinance: What is Compound Interest?

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] It’s claimed Albert Einstein once said “the power of compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe.” While it’s still unknown if he actually said this or not, the message remains powerful and widely adopted and here’s why: Compound interest is basically interest on the principal amount + interest that has already accrued. In other words, interest on interest. Here are the key factors to keep in mind: Principal = amount borrowed or invested Interest rates = Interest paid on principal Interest paid on accrued interest Compounding schedule = interest can accrue daily, monthly, yearly or any other schedule laid out in the...

Posted by flutter

[ad_1] If you ever wished for an easier way to figure out what you should do to improve your financial health– stop what you’re doing and read up! Maybe you’ve heard me talk about Mint’s website and mobile app and how it helped me create and stick to a budget during my wedding and after (link to past videos). I’ve always been a fan of Mint, and now with new iOS app redesign, better features and data-driven MintSights– or Mint Insights, it’s even easier to stay on top of your savings, expenses and budgeting. This app update will help you have a...

Why does the IRS file liens? And what you can do about one.

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] The obvious reason the IRS files a lien is because someone owes it money.  If you have a lien filed against your property the IRS is attempting to collect a debt. It could be an aggressive or passive collection attempt but the lien signals the existence of a debt. Whenever you face debt collection consider your options, including the possibility of bankruptcy. For a greater understanding, first let’s briefly examine what is a lien.  A lien creates a right to keep possession of property belonging to another person until a debt owed by that person is paid.  Most liens do...

What are the Types of Financial Benefits Big Companies Offer?

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] Employers might think employees are looking for companies that offer a game room or on-site massage chair, but research shows employees actually don’t want superficial perks— they’d rather have core benefits and compensation packages. Financial incentives can be great, but only if you understand what they are and how to take advantage of them. There’s no point in having great stock options or a retirement plan if you don’t actually know how to make them work for you. To actually get the incentive, you need to do your research. Currently, millennials prefer cash over stock for long term investments, so...

How to Make Money with Side Hustle Apps

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1]   If you ask a random person on the street what they do, chances are they have a lot of slashes and hyphens in their job titles. In this day and age, if you don’t have multiple sources of income you are just getting by. The era of working one job your entire life is over, and when it comes to finding ways to make extra money on the side, millennials are very creative with their side hustles. Some side hustles pay well and some are passion projects, but if you’re looking for some extra cash, listen up. Whether you’re the...

How I Finally Built an Emergency Savings

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1]   Emergency savings. Building one can seem daunting for anyone living paycheck to paycheck … When I was 27, I went to an outlet mall because I just felt like getting something new. I remember being pretty happy with the jeans and shoes I found. I also remember calculating in my head that payday was two days away, I had a full tank of gas and my team was going out to lunch the next day – so lunch was covered. Which, in my mind, meant I technically had the money for it. And honestly, at the time, this reasoning didn’t...

The Hidden Cost of Convenience

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] When I am running out of toilet paper, I tap my Amazon app to order toilet paper (along with a weeks worth of groceries to make the order purchase minimum) to be delivered straight to my door within hours. For dinner, I often order on Postmates or GrubHub and about 30 minutes later, dinner is served. When I am feeling tight, I order an in house- massage right to my doorstep through Zeel. Yes, you can also tap an app to do your laundry, mail packages and have someone walk your dog. But with convenience, there always comes a price,...

Should You Get A Part-Time Student Job?

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] College – it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. My university experience, like so many others, was a cocktail of stress, fun and every emotion on the spectrum. The highs far outweighed the lows, but I can still vividly remember the pain of  failing a test or having to pull an all-nighter. It’s a time where so much is expected of you, with so little guidance on how to stay on top of it all. If you add a part-time job on top of that, it can be a recipe for disaster. But working through your college...

College Students: Here are The Biggest Financial Mistakes You Need to Avoid

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] Slipping up while in college is basically a rite of passage. I made so many mistakes at Indiana University – many of which I would never admit publicly – that reminiscing on my college years comes with a heavy dose of embarrassment. Thankfully, most mistakes made while at university are temporary. They may have short-term consequences, but drinking tickets and dorm infractions don’t tend to follow you into adult life. Financial mistakes, on the other hand, can be a little stickier. College may seem like a safe little bubble, but money is still money. The cash you blow on parties and...
