How Do I Know If I’m In Financial Trouble?
Answer “True” or “False” to the following questions, and then tally your score. Use the interpretation of results at the bottom to determine whether or not you are a candidate for credit counseling.
- I normally pay only the minimum amount due on my credit card bills.
- My credit card balances increase each month.
- There are arguments in my home about money.
- I sometimes hide purchases from my spouse.
- I frequently charge items that I used to pay for with cash.
- I have thought about filing for bankruptcy.
- I have begun using cash advances to meet my obligations.
- Most of my credit cards are near the limit, so I’ve begun applying for new lines of credit.
- I do not know the total amount that I owe.
- I skip paying my bills some months, or pay late.
- I have depleted my savings.
- I am consumed with thoughts of my debt.
- My debt interferes with my job and/or home life.
- Collectors have begun contacting me.
- I have taken money from my retirement account to satisfy debt obligations.
- If I lost my job, it would mean an immediate financial crisis in my life.
- I use balance transfers.
- I have no emergency savings account.
- Next month’s bills arrive before I’ve paid this month’s.
- I do not open my bills when they arrive, or soon thereafter.
If you answered “true” to more than three of these questions, you would benefit from credit counseling with a trained, experienced and certified counselor. Call GreenPath at 1-877-332-2235.
