Posted ByKylie PerkinsCreating a financial legacy is very important in people’s lives. It is so important in fact, that if you never did anything to be concerned with your children’s financial future, chances are, they may be worse off that you ever were.
Do you find yourself moving debt around instead of paying off your loans? In an effort to get one creditor off your back you may wind up borrowing heavily from another creditor. Such methods of personal financial management don’t usually escalate in higher interest rates and greater debt.
Cancer – chequebook-loving. Cancerians adore their chequebooks, rejecting cash for this form of payment. They demonstrate a strong tendency to check their bank or credit card statements regularly, but are not so good at paying their monthly bills in full. Advice: You’ve heard of “saving up for a rainy day”…..well let the bank take care of that and invest into direct debit to help ease the pins and needles you go through each month with paying your bills.
Note: Most successful cashflow s will be reluctant to estimate the value of your case without looking at your medical bills and records. Some lawyer will give you a high estimate on the value of your case to get you signed up. Do not fall for it. You should probably avoid any lawyer who does this.
I first learnt about the benefits of understanding the different stages of growth whilst studying for my accounting degree. In one of my management subjects, we studied the ‘Learning Ladder’ or the stages of Conscious/Competent Learning. It was discovered that when presented with a new area of learning, people naturally progressed through various stages.
If you have questions about the status of your case will the lawyer you meet with call you back, or will you get a call from some paralegal you’ve never met before? When you call the office will you have to give them a file number for them to know who you are and what’s going on with your case, or will the attorney have these facts at his fingertips?
Your lawyer should have a lot of experience in court and defending clients. Even though this does not mean that you will win a case, it says that your lawyer has some level of experience when dealing with the people in the courthouse. You will need some one on your side who can command a presence in court, not just some one who has just graduated from law school.
