Navigating a Divorce | You Don’t Have to Do it Alone
Rebuilding Credit and Managing Debt
Divorce can significantly impact your credit, especially if joint debts were not handled properly. Rebuilding your credit score and managing any existing debt should be a priority during and after a divorce.
To understand your current credit situation and develop a plan to improve it try out Gulf Wind’s Understanding Your Credit Score simulation. Additionally, our debt consolidation credit cards provide a way to manage multiple debts more efficiently, potentially lowering your monthly payments and interest rates. We're here to support you as you rebuild your financial foundation.
Setting Up New Accounts
It's essential to establish individual checking and savings accounts to separate your finances after a divorce. This not only protects your assets but also helps in managing your day-to-day expenses independently.
Gulf Winds offers free checking and savings accounts with no monthly fees, making it easier for you to start fresh. Our accounts come with features like automatic bill pay and online banking, which simplify managing your finances. Plus, our friendly staff is available to guide you through the process of setting up your new accounts.
Reviewing and Updating Beneficiaries
After a divorce, it's crucial to review and update the beneficiaries on your financial accounts, insurance policies, and retirement plans to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Visit your local branch so we can assist one in making changes.
Building a New Financial Plan
Creating a new budget and financial plan that reflects your current income and expenses post-divorce is vital for long-term financial health. This plan should include setting new financial goals, adjusting spending habits, and considering future savings.
Gulf Winds is here to help you navigate these changes with confidence. Raymond James at Gulf Winds offers personalized advice and tools to help you create a budget that works for your new life. Additionally, we host regular financial literacy workshops to provide you with the knowledge and resources to stay on track.
