Being unemployed never comes at a good time. But it's made worse when you cannot find a job in a reasonable amount of time to compensate for the loss. At this point, your saving and/or checking account(s) begins to dwindle at an ever-increasing rate. What to do?
For many individuals, this is a point when they begin to seriously (and unfortunately) consider bankruptcy as a solution to their problems. However, it's highly recommended that before you take such a drastic step that will stick with you for years, you take a look at debt consolidation loans.
Debt consolidation is the process whereby a trained professional in money management contacts each of your creditors on your behalf. Over a very short period of time, the professional negotiates lower payments with each creditor so you can pay off your debts at a more reasonable rate. In the end, you wind up paying out one lump sum each month (instead of several) that is smaller than you would have paid had you not consolidated your debts.
"That's great," you might say, "But I'm still without employment..." Though that may be true, your debt consolidation loans will allow you to spend more time in pursuit of a job and less time worrying about whether you can make ends meet. And never underestimate the power that lessening your stress will cause; perhaps your more relaxed outlook will help you see possibilities that you didn't recognize before.
Best of all, once you have become gainfully employed again, you may even be able to pay off your consolidated debts at a fast rate. Alternatively, had you undergone bankruptcy, you would be unable to remove the stigma of that designation. Debt consolidation loans won't eliminate the possibility, say, of your obtaining a home improvement loan; however, a label of "bankruptcy" might.
