Avoiding Bankruptcy - Tips For Couples

• Did you bank separately before you came into the marriage? Of course you did! That's why you should continue to do so, regardless of what any book tells you to do. The reasons couples have a hard time balancing their checkbooks is because they have no idea what the other person is doing with their money. So, keep it simple and keep it separate!
• Never charge anything whatsoever. Don't start doing it and if you have credit cards, then pay off the balances and forget about charge and credit cards.
• Remember, cash is king so buy only what you can pay for right now with the exception of your home purchase.
• Buy a used car until you can afford, really afford a new car.
• Invest in every retirement plan you can-you will need it one day.
• The moment you have a child, you should start saving for their college education.
• UPromise and many other college saving ideas are available today. Go online and find out the best way to save for your child's college.
• Never ask a parent for a loan. It causes too many problems in families and even after you pay them back, you'll still owe them and the siblings could become jealous. It just isn't wise. Don't borrow from relatives.
• If you want something or need something really desperately, grab a second job for a while to pay for it. There's nothing like the gratification of earning your own money for the things you want and need. Even if it takes you two or three jobs to do it!

There is no reason for anyone to ever file bankruptcy if each person within the couple unit works together and sets some ground rules down about budgeting. Learn to work together financially so the finances never drive you apart.
