However, most of us have learned the hard way that our financial problems do not disappear; instead, if not taken care of, the problem will still be there and will likely become worse.

- Learn From Your Mistakes: After you have gained advice and changed the tract of your financial situation be sure to reflect back from where you started to where you are now. Think about what you changed, from how you have saved or spent money, steps you took to pay off loans, and what you have gained/lost because of it.
