Answer 1

we all get tripped up whe we play the game of life......and in some ways a burden can be a savior, in a few months things will look better and attitudes will be stronger, sure there may be some conflict with the people that expect their money, but eventually they will get it and move on. keeping a strong and encouraging attitude is a balancer, console and ask if there are ways you may be able to help, but most of all be there for your family......your their support group.

keep your head up.

Answer 2

I ran a business for 4 years and it was pretty tough. I learnt a lot of what not to do in that time. If you have debts like you say just pay them because at least you get them out of the way. If you can't afford to pay all of your debts try to get some of them deferred for a while. If any are tax debts you can get them deferred(but I'm talking about in Australia of course).
Most importantly stick through it with your family and remember they are worth more than all the money in the world.

Answer 3

financial problems sometimes or most of the time comes in every family or any person, and it could be hard to deal with it so many times specially if you get really broke and knows that you have a lot of bills to pay, that if you dont pay you will lose it...
but theres a saying that in every problem theres always a solution. tell your family to talk to those people that they owe honestly and tell them what the problem is and that they will get paid as soon as your family got everything on track, and that you're sorry for not getting to pay them right away. and if they understand thank them for understanding.. Just dont think about it too much because depression is really bad for you, you can get really sick. later on everything will be alright, just take it one step at a time...
Goodluck.. to you and your family...

Seems like you are going through a difficult time with your family. Times like these not only bring your family closer but help everyone to learn from the mistakes made. While there may be alot of feelings of emabrrassment, shame, guilt, etc rright now for everyonein the family, it is important that you stick together. With the help from family memebers and each other's support you will all get through this wiser and healthier people. ll of your feelings are to be expected and there is nothing you should feel bad about whe nit comes to those feelings. Just remember, that mistakes get made everyday and the only thing that matters is that we learn from them.

Answer 5

If it looks like things will be better in a few months, go to the people you owe money and see if you can work out a payment plan with them. Many banks and businesses will work with you as long as you go to them and do your best not to get behind. Don't be embarrassed-- this probably happens to more people than not, sometime in their lives. Just be honest with your creditors and pay them as soon as you can. Good Luck!!

Answer 6

Things like this happen. You'll get past it, but in the mean time, ask how you can help. Maybe something as simple as conserving electricity (shutting the lights off) anything to help keep everyday expenses down, will help your parents. If your old enough get a job, even babysitting, and give you parents the money. even a few dollars will help, and make them feel that you understand and care

Answer 7

Your family just needs to sit down and figure out what has to be paid right now and what and who can wait.
That may be a hard thing to start but more than likely you will find that there are a lot of people willing to work with you.

Answer 8

When we are in any kind of difficulty we should pray to God also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. God is the source of all wealth. It is due to some Karma (reaction to past activity) that we have highs and lows in life. They always pass. This world is temporary and full of misery and the only way to really get through things is to be in contact with our Maker.Chanting the Maha Mantra is the best way to get Gods attention. He loves when we chant His name. It puts us in direct contact with Him. go to krishnaculture. for details. Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prahbupada This gives one the answers to all problems in life. Your situation will eventually get better if you pray. and other situations will arise, it is just the nature of this mateial world.
