Thousands of businesses still struggling to stay alive should consider closing, with a leading insolvency firm declaring now is “crunch time” for them to survive or die.

Thursday marks 50 days before key government stimulus measures, thought to be supporting thousands of businesses, come to an end.

December 31 will mark the end of the insolvent trading moratorium, the first tranche of JobKeeper 2.0 and the commercial eviction moratorium.

Insolvency firm Jirsch Sutherland said now was the time for directors to see the writing on the wall and warned them they could be liable for damages if they continue to trade while insolvent.

“It’s vital that businesses don’t ignore the warning signs of insolvency – otherwise they could miss the wind…

President-elect Joe Biden will be inheriting a struggling economy when he takes office in January. Coronavirus infections are reaching new highs with the pandemic showing no signs of abating anytime soon.

Meanwhile, millions of people remain unemployed and permanent layoffs are rising. Small businesses are still shuttering as the recovery shows signs of weakening without additional stimulus.

A pair of Senate runoff races in Georgia will decide which party controls the Senate and the balance of power in Washington. If Republicans keep the chamber, it may be difficult for Biden to achieve many elements of his platform such as tax increases for wealthy individuals and corporations.

But here are four steps Biden could take on his own wi…

It took nearly three years for Lynnette Khalfani-Cox,The Money Coachand author of”Zero Debt: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Freedom,” to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt.

But in the process of her six-figure debt payoff journey, Khalfani-Cox gained more than just financial freedom. She also adopted some new money habits to maintain what she calls a “Zero Debt mindset.”

Before she buys stuff or makes any new purchases, these are the two questions she asks herself to be a more disciplined spender and avoid debt. “Just asking myself these kinds of questions helps me to make better financial choices,” Khalfani-Cox tells CNBC Select.

  1. Should I put this on a card or should I just use cash to buy it?
  2. If I’m going to charge something, d…

    Debts are a fact of life. Many people, from multimillionaires to corporate employees, have it. Financially healthy people even have debts, especially if theyve bought big-ticket purchases, such as a real estate property or a car.

However, some people find it hard to cope with debts mainly because their salary and repaying power are not proportional to the credit that they have borrowed and used. Some may be attending to other important financial obligations.

    Nevertheless, there is one possible solution that may make repayments much easier and more efficient. Enter debt consolidation.
