Life can be so hectic. Between work and school, family and friends, you're always running around trying to get everything done. But sometimes life just doesn't work out the way we'd like it to. Maybe you got laid off, or maybe your car broke down and you had to rely on public transportation for the first time in years. Whatever happened, it's important that you know how to rebuild your life after a financial downturn.
The first thing you need to do is take a deep breath. If you're like most people facing financial hardship, this is going to be hard for you. You might feel like there's no way out of your situation but if there was another way? You'd take it in a heartbeat!
Once you've calmed yourself down and gotten a grip on reality, start by looking at what resources are available to help with your situation. There are organizations that can provide free legal advice or help people apply for government programs such as food stamps or unemployment benefits (check out your state's department of labor website for contact information). There are also credit unions that offer loans at lower interest rates than banks do. so if you have bad credit but need cash now, they may be able to help you..
