One way or another, the pandemic brought global challenges that we never saw coming. It’s like a rampaging hurricane that came out of nowhere and bringing chaos to our lives. Some managed to hid under the protection of their sturdy bunkers and slept safe & sound. Some were caught amid the flurry but luckily landed on soft trees and just got some tiny bruises.
However, for the unfortunate ones, some lost their properties, were badly injured and merely coping up with the unfathomable damage…
As to our finances, may it be any form of debt incurred during the pandemic or any financial difficulties, I’m sure each of us has a fair share of stories to tell. Got none? Well lucky for you! But for those still struggling with their debts, here’s some form of outline or business checklist to guide and help you bounce back!
Determine Your Debts & Financial Status
One important aspect to start with is your damage assessment. Acknowledging your situation and facing the reality head on is almost halfway through on what you need to do. Produce an accurate list of financial details and obligations that needs to be dealt with. This should give you an overview of the situation and help you devise your course of action.
Deal Swiftly and Prioritize
Most probably, there’s a ticking component that goes along with your debt that when left uncheck, may cause further irreversible damage. Yes, you guessed it right, it’s INTEREST. Scrutinize through your list and spot on priority debts that needs to be settled as soon as possible (and capable).
Devise Your Approach
Communicate with Lenders – Be true and manage your funder’s expectation. Most may empathize because of the pandemic and offer flexible arrangements for both parties.
Check for COVID Relief Programs – Inquire and seek for government-initiated aids that may temporarily help with your financial situation thus providing an avenue to divert resources.
Cut Down Expenses – it’s probably not too late but you may recheck and evaluate your expenditures and see if there’s overspending on your end. Sacrifice on trivial wants for the meantime for extra juice in paying off debts.
Create additional Revenue / Funds – Depending on your situation, you may have overlooked some opportunities or assets that you can utilize to produce more funds.
Consult for professional help – sometimes, an easy and smart way to get through this is asking help from those who are veteran on financial management. This advantage is a given.
These situations may be stressful and bring a lot of pressure to anyone but with just a change of perspective, these can turn into valuable lessons and red flags that you can avoid in the future!
