Your life is already tough.  Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things you will ever do.  It touches every part of your life, and you need to protect yourself while going through it.

Remember, it is you taking care of yourself now.  You HAVE to stop thinking about things as a member of a couple, and start thinking about things as a single person again.

I have posted a video series to the MyCredEd YouTube channel discussing how you can protect your credit during divorce.  Remember, your divorce will be over soon, but the effects of a credit problem can last years longer!

Banks are increasingly covering overdrafts, and charging a large fee for the ‘privilege’ of not having a bounce on your account.

Now, personally, I would rather not be able to pay for something than have to eat a $34.00 fee from my bank.  But the banks don’t always give you that option.

Take a look at the article and let me know what you think.
