Don't Wait, Come in Now

One of the things we financial counselors regret is seeing people wait too long before they come in for help or advice. Often as we look over the paperwork that is brought in to us we think, if only they had come in a year ago, when they first realized they were struggling. It would be so much simpler to resolve.

Often clients will express to me: I thought I could do it on my own, but I can't. There is no shame in seeking counsel! It's the smart thing to do. Seeking advice from a budget, credit or financial counselor does not mean that you are less than others. It doesn't mean that you have failed. And it doesn't take away your freedom to make your own choices.

As financial counselors we see many people in many situations so we get experience that the average person cannot gain. And we know of resources that you may not know about.

Many financial counselors have gone through their own struggles and can truly empathize with you.

So if you are beginning to feel uneasy about your finances, if it is getting harder to make ends meet, if you have started using credit cards to pay normal living expenses, do not wait--call today and make an appointment with a credit counselor. You may save yourself a lot of trouble. It's the smart thing to do.
