Your Financial Snapshot
The Financial Snapshot is a private, chat-based way to organize your income, debts, expenses, and assets so you can see your situation clearly and compare possible paths forward. You build it at your own pace, and no phone number or email is required to start.
What the Snapshot collects
The chat asks about the details that actually affect your options, not every possible financial detail. You can skip questions you are not ready to answer and come back to them later.
- Types of debt and approximate balances
- Income and household size
- Monthly expenses
- Assets, such as a home, vehicle, or savings
- Where you live (state or ZIP code)
- Goals and priorities, such as keeping a home or paying off debt faster
What you receive
- An organized view of your income, debts, expenses, and assets in one place
- Educational estimates for options such as debt management, settlement, consolidation, Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and self-payoff
- A side-by-side comparison of the tradeoffs between those paths
- The option to save, download, or share your Snapshot when you choose to
How long it takes
Most people finish the initial Snapshot in about ten to fifteen minutes, depending on how many debts and accounts they have.
Saving your progress
You can save your Snapshot and come back to review or update it as your situation changes.
Downloading it
You can download a copy of your Snapshot for your own records or to bring to a professional you already work with.
Sharing is always your choice
Your Snapshot is not sent to anyone automatically. If you decide to request professional help, you will be shown exactly what would be shared before you confirm the request. Until then, your Snapshot stays with you.
