Money Crashers: 2 financial pieces

Here are two more Money Crashers articles dealing with core financial topics. The first is a companion to my earlier piece on debt settlement — arranging with creditors to cancel your debt for less than you owe. I noted in that piece that debt settlement isn't the only option for debt relief and isn't always the best one, so in this article, I explore some of the alternatives, such as credit counseling, debt management plans, debt consolidation loans, and bankruptcy. 

8 Alternatives to Debt Settlement for Debt Management and Relief

The second article is on the broader topic of getting your finances under control. For anyone who's ever struggled to make ends meet, it provides a complete, step-by-step guide to taming every aspect of your financial life — from budgeting and building emergency savings to paying off debt, investing, and estate planning.
