Kelly McGrath Law is here to help you. Let’s Get You Some Financial Peace!
If you’re barely able to pay your bills, or if you’re falling behind, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault. The country is going through a crisis and we want you to feel supported.
You can get out of this financial struggle with help and you do not have to shoulder this alone. Family and friends are often more understanding than you might think!
Talk to those you love and share the burden of your financial stress. And if you’re depressed or thinking of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. This struggle is temporary and there are places you can go to help with your financial burden.
If the amount you owe has become an overwhelming burden in your life, here’s how filing for bankruptcy gives you a fresh start and lets you breathe again:
Bankruptcy is a legal process that can wipe out or restructure many of your debts.
Your current income level determines what kind of bankruptcy you qualify for. Either your unsecured debt is forgiven (Chapter 7 Bankruptcy), or restructured on manageable, low-interest terms (Chapter 13 Bankruptcy).
Filing immediately protects assets you depend on such as your home and the vehicle you need.
Bankruptcy also protects your wages from being garnished by any credit card companies
After bankruptcy is complete, credit for high-ticket necessities can become available as quickly as within 3 months. Mortgages no later than 4 years.
Here’s what you need to know about repossession:
The state can legally repossess a vehicle after just ONE delinquent payment.
The creditor does NOT have to notify you or take you to court to repossess your vehicle.
They can just come get your car anytime if you’re behind on payments, without notice.
Here’s the deal with falling behind on your house payment:
A mortgage lender has to file a lawsuit to begin foreclosure.
The homeowner will receive a summons if this happens, and they’ll have 20 days to respond before the foreclosure happens.
If you’re struggling to make ends meet, get support – call for a free consultation about your debt
Or, if you just want to talk to someone about other legal problems and get some advice, call Kelly McGrath, Esq. at (850) 273-8698. Kelly is trained in Nonviolent Communication and will give you compassionate legal counsel focusing on your needs.

What are some indicators of wealth you had growing up?
A friend asked me that question recently.
At first, I thought It’s all about money, Millions and billions of dollars. If you define wealth as living in a mansion, owning a private jet and having a personal banker at your beck and call then my family was definitely not wealthy. If you describe wealth as having enough food and clothing, comfortable housing, and loving parents then I experienced wealth growing up as well as continued the happy family life with my own kids. The reality is, that your interpretation of wealth is unique to you.
Think about your ideas about money when you were in your twenties or thirties compared to your fifties and sixties. The amount of cash, also known as money, is the greatest measure of success, wealth, and a fabulous life in our society. However, counting your cash, flaunting it or even hording it does not guarantee happiness or fulfillment.
For that, you need to build relationships with family and friends, find hobbies and interests to explore or purpose your purpose. Spend your retirement years using your cash to enjoy the life it can provide. Ask yourself, how can I serve rather than how much cash do I have?

“Before anything great is really achieved, your comfort zone must be disturbed.”
Are you cheating yourself or holding yourself back due to fear or getting too comfortable? As you move through your 2nd or 3rd Act or 4th Quarter, open yourself to change, try new things, get out of your comfort zone.
The following are two quotes from anonymous, for your consideration:
“By leaving your comfort zone behind and taking a leap of faith into something new, you find out who you are truly capable of becoming.”
“Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

Have you ever noticed that certain people seem to be content and in control all the time? It seems as if stressful situations bounce off of them rather than knock them down. Even in retirement they appear happy, joyful and free. It’s never too late for you to have contentment in your life as well.
First, you need to start identifying what you want… and why you believe you will be happier if you have it. Will it really make you happy? Or will you just get it, have a temporary period of happiness, and then start desiring something else? After you identify your desires, the next step is to find out if they are YOUR desires or if you’ve been programmed to think you want them.
The good news is you have a choice. Happiness is a choice! You can learn to control your emotions so you can feel good NOW, no matter what’s going on in your life. I know, this sounds really hard. When things are going on around you that are painful or scary or stressful, it can be hard to find your footing and remember that there are things you can do to be happy in the moment while creating contentment for the longer term.
