When people in
Brisbane ask me about Bankruptcy, I
tell them the simple Native American Fable of the little boy and the
Rattlesnake. An old rattlesnake asks a passing young boy to carry him to the mountain
top to view one last sunset before he dies. The boy was reluctant, but the
rattlesnake promised not to bite him in exchange for the ride. They went
together only for the snake to ultimately bite the boy despite his vow not to
do so. The snake's response was 'You knew what I was when you picked me up.
Getting the
right financial advice in Brisbane when it concerns Bankruptcy is a whole lot
like that little boy's journey, filled with risk and danger, and normally
skewed for the benefit of the person providing the advice. In most cases you'll
get bitten unless you know what you've picked up long before you move forward
(avoid the rattlesnakes). I learned the problem with getting financial advice
as a teenager, and it has been essential to Bankruptcy. I'd been keeping my
nose to the grindstone for a few years, and saved up a little bit of money I
wanted to invest. It was the early 1980s so interest rates were very high and
investing your money was rather profitable. I spent a few years researching varying
investment options, and I went to visit a few financial advisors. It was clear
that they had more money than I did: they had good suits and plush offices;
they all seemed to exude confidence and have all the solutions. What struck me
was that they all had a very different strategy of what I should do. This
frustrated me a lot that it put me off the whole idea of picking any of them.
I'm sure
currently you have read more than enough on the internet to be totally lost
about Bankruptcy and just what to do. It would probably be easier for me to
help you comprehend the nature of the financial snakes you could be grabbing
while you are trying to get to the bottom of your financial problems in
Brisbane. Essentially, you need to try and comprehend what your overarching
choices are, do your own research into where to proceed with your strategy for Bankruptcy,
and then approach what you feel is best in Brisbane for your needs. Basically,
you have 3 options for whom to turn to.
The first option
is a Solicitor - This may look like the go-to approach when you seem to be in
trouble. But there is only so much assistance they can give on this matter.
There are definitely specialist legal advisors in bankruptcy, but their
experience comes with a hefty price.
Another option you
may think of is your accountant - they are incredibly helpful and vital to the
task of managing your business, but for the most part, when you are thinking
about Bankruptcy, your accountant won't be much help to you anymore.
Your best
option? A Financial Counsellor that can talk about debt consolidation, personal
insolvency agreements, and virtually all you should know when it comes to Bankruptcy.
