Your counselor will review your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. This in-depth process will provide you with a true and accurate picture of your financial situation. The personal financial assessment is just the first piece that is developed to help you determine the right solution for your financial situation. Your counselor will work with you to develop a reasonable and manageable spending plan, a detailed action plan, and short and long-term financial goals.
