Bankruptcy is guided by strict federal rules. That means that even small mistakes can delay the process or result in a dismissal entirely. The result could be that you are responsible for all your debts PLUS costs you’ve incurred to file. Worse yet, you could be accused of bankruptcy fraud.

You don’t want that.

That’s why it’s so important to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney. Whether you’re an individual or a business facing a difficult financial situation, it’s critical that you get good advice. Call Gatton & Associates and get your questions answered. Call (505) 271-1053.

Now that you’ve set some financial goals, it’s time to build a budget. You’ll budget 5 categories:
- Income💲
- Fixed expenses (your rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance) 🏠
- Variable expenses (groceries, entertainment) 🥗
- Savings and investments💰
- Debt payments (car payment, credit cards) 🚙

A good guideline for outlining a budget is to use the 50/30/20 rule … 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings and debt payments.

When is the last time you created a budget? 🧮

What do you want in 2026? Do you want to start, or increase, your contributions to savings, investments or a retirement account? Do you want to plan for a major purchase, or buy a new home or renovate your existing home? Do you have an emergency fund?

Most financial advisors recommend keeping 3 to 6 months of living expenses to cover unexpected events. For retirees, the recommended cushion is 9 to 24 months.

Write down these goals and use them to guide your financial decisions throughout the year.
