PREPARATION OF A BUDGET
The preparation of a balanced budget and its careful application should normally allow one to avoid financial difficulties.
THE RE-WORKING OF THE BUDGET
In spite of everything, if a problem arises, the first thing to consider is the revision of the budget. To avoid that the problem escalates out of control, it is important that close attention be given to the budget, as soon as advance warning signs appear (See section « Advance warning signs ».).
Such a fine tuning of the budget may, in certain cases, resolve a problem that is only temporary, for example, an unforeseen major expense. In other instances, the re-working of the budget may allow one to estimate the ability to repay a debt and examine at other alternatives, such as a debt Consolidation Loanor an agreement with creditors
