When people in
Brisbane ask me about Bankruptcy, I
let them know the timeless 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 passes away. 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 ultimately attack the boy
despite his assurance not to do so. The snake's response was 'You knew what I
was when you picked me up.
Obtaining the
right financial advice in Brisbane when it pertains to Bankruptcy is a lot like
that little boy's encounter, tangled up with risk and danger, and generally
skewed for the benefit of the person supplying the advice. In most cases you'll
get bitten except if you know what you've picked up long before you move
forward (avoid the rattlesnakes). I discovered the problem with getting
financial advice as a teenager, and it has been fundamental to Bankruptcy. I'd
been working hard for a few years, and saved up a small amount of money I
wanted to invest. It was the early 1980s so interest rates were fairly high and
investing your money was very profitable. I spent some time researching many
different investment options, and I went to visit a few financial advisors. It
was obvious 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 answers. What
struck me was that they all had a really different strategy of what I should
do. This frustrated me so much that it put me off the whole idea of selecting
any of them.
I'm sure
currently you have read more than enough on the internet to be totally
bewildered about Bankruptcy and what to do. It would undoubtedly be easier for
me to help you understand the nature of the financial snakes you may be
grabbing while you are attempting to get to the bottom of your financial issues
in Brisbane. In essence, you need to try and recognize what your overarching
choices are, do your very own research into where to proceed with your plan for
Bankruptcy, and after that approach the things you feel is best in Brisbane for
your needs. Essentially, you have 3 options for who to turn to.
The first option
is a Solicitor - This may appear like the go-to solution when you appear to be
in trouble. But there is only just so much assistance they can give on this
matter. There are absolutely specialist legal advisors in bankruptcy, but their
knowledge features a hefty price.
Another choice
you may think about is your accountant- they are incredibly useful and vital to
the process of managing your business, but for the most part, when you are
considering Bankruptcy, your accountant won't be much help to you anymore.
Your best
choice? A Financial Counsellor that can outline debt consolidation, personal
insolvency agreements, and basically all you have to know when it comes to Bankruptcy.
