Plastic makes life convenient. Folks do not want to carry around a lot of money. Credit cards take the place of cash and encourages shopping, sometimes to the point of binge purchases. People forget about the double-digit interest rates and their credit card debt begins to jump. The danger to a person’s financial wellness is quite real.

Debt Overload

Millennials and new college graduates are easily seduced. They will use credit cards for nonessential purposes and not worry about the consequences.

The balance on their credit cards creeps up and eventually becomes a crisis. Employees are making good money, but some may feel they need to file for bankruptcy. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services does not want to see anyone in a credit card debt crisis. Our financial wellness program will help prevent a monetary disaster.

Checking the Budget

Managing personal finances isn’t taught in college. People ordinarily learn how to balance family budgets the hard way. Countrywide will make the accounting easy. We use a nationwide network of financial wellness counselors. They instruct plan members in how to manage their private finances.

A counselor will meet with the individual at a mutually convenient time. The budget analysis is the first method where the counselor will show where the money is coming and going. This can be a surprise for anyone living from paycheck to paycheck. The Countrywide professional will review credit card balances and suggest ways to better handle the balances. A plan for reducing the credit card burden can be created showing the plan member an idea of how to get out of any financial trouble.
