Ladies In the Red

Now we know this doesn’t sound like a cheery site exactly, but Ladies In the Red make even bank­ruptcy sound halfway sur­viv­able. In fact, they’ve been through it and lived to tell the tall red tale. And with a sense of humor. This site is full of prac­ti­cal advice when things get finan­cially tough and lots of wis­dom. In Story of a Girl Gone Bust we find savvy ideas for those who’ve lost every­thing. She writes, “Iron­i­cally, up until it went bust, the Com­pany was doing very well. We had an offer to buy it for a large sum of money, which we declined (I don’t dwell on that), and we had orders to sup­ply some of the largest Com­pa­nies in the UK. So far so good… Until we placed an enor­mous order in China to sup­ply our biggest cus­tomers and the Gov­ern­ment stopped the import of the goods. Not just our goods, but nation­ally.”

And so she slipped into for­eign ter­ri­tory with­out a plas­tic card to her name. The scary thing is, it could hap­pen to you and me. But there is hope and this lady tells the story well. “Hav­ing moved back in with my par­ents I can tell you with con­fi­dence that while a liv­ing sit­u­a­tion post-repossession may not be one you’d choose, there’s hope and inspi­ra­tion in start­ing all over again.“
Con­grat­u­la­tions to Ladies In the Red. You are The Ris­ing Blogger’s Post of the Day.

We think you’re doing just fine.
