The bankruptcy helped remove the cloud of debt over my life and has given me skills to be the best father I can be.

— Nathan, Halifax

As per your question, since my bankruptcy in 2010 I have become way more smarter about my money and bills. I did get a pre-paid credit card i rarely use except for the internet bill and small purchases. I pay off the entire balance every month. My other bills are always current and my rent is always paid on time. I managed to change careers within my work and I make a little more than I did before, but that has not changed my spending habits for the worse. It has actually allowed me to save my money. Truthfully, the most I’ve ever had in my life. This is fortunate, because me and my girlfriend are now parents to a 1 year old child who was born with some complications. The bankruptcy helped remove the cloud of debt over my life and has given me skills to be the best father I can be.

Once again, thank you for everything you did for me.
