When people in
Canberra ask me about Bankruptcy, I tell them the classic 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 discover one last sunset before he
dies. The boy was reluctant, but the rattlesnake promised not to bite him in
exchange for the ride. They journeyed together only for the snake to in the end
attacks the boy despite his vow not to do so. The snake's answer was 'You knew
what I was when you picked me up.
Asking for the
right financial advice in Canberra when it pertains to Bankruptcy is a whole
lot like that little boy's journey, tangled up with risk and danger, and
typically skewed for the benefit of the person presenting the advice. Often
you'll get bitten except if you know what you've picked up long before you move
forward (avoid the rattlesnakes). I learned the problem with obtaining
financial advice as a teenager, and it has been vital to Bankruptcy. I'd been
working hard 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 pretty high and investing
your money was really profitable. I spent time researching different investment
options, and I went to visit a few financial advisors. It was transparent that
they had more money than I did: they had good suits and plush offices; they all
appeared to exude confidence and have all the answers. What struck me was that
they all had a very different strategy of what I should do. This puzzled me so
much that it put me off the entire idea of going with any of them.
I'm sure
currently you have read enough on the internet to be totally bewildered about Bankruptcy
and precisely what to do. It would probably be easier for me to help you learn
about the nature of the financial snakes you might be grasping while you are
trying to get to the bottom of your financial problems in Canberra.
Essentially, you have to try and recognize what your overarching options are,
do your very own research into where to proceed with your plan for Bankruptcy
and after that approach what you feel is best in Canberra for your
requirements. Basically, you have 3 options for who to turn to.
The first option
is a Solicitor - This may seem like the go-to choice when you appear to be in
trouble. But certainly there is only just so much help they can give on this
matter. There are certainly specialist legal advisors in bankruptcy, but their
experience comes with a hefty price.
Another
possibility you may think of is your accountant - they are incredibly useful
and vital to the task of operating 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 bet? A
Financial Counsellor that can talk about debt consolidation, personal
insolvency agreements, and virtually all you have to understand when it comes
to Bankruptcy.
