In order torebuild and/or rebound after a financial loss, like what took place in 2008, takes some time and a lot of attention to the detail of the requirements needed to bounce back. There may be a lot guilt or even loss of confidence because of losing your home. You will need to at least rent a home or apartment. After moving beyond feelings of guilt or loss of confidence, there are a number of legal and financial matters to address. Begin by coming up with a plan to boost your income.
