I went through bankruptcy seven years ago, and I am worse off now than I was then.
I’m not getting the money on December 29 that I thought i was getting, it’s set for Jan 29. I’m ■■■■■■.
I can’t make my car payment, can’t pay my rent, my bills, I can’t afford to live right now. My car gets repossessed there goes my job, can’t do anything then. I’d rather die than be homeless.
No, not likely. I have no real money coming in, other than my shitty pay that is not enough, until that on Jan 29, then teaching pay in early February, then my tax refund later that month. I don’t see how I’m going to make it a month and a half the way things are right now.
Let’s not forget about the debt collectors coming after me about my medical debts…
Unfortunately, I can’t offer any financial advice, @freakonaleash. But I really feel for you and encourage you to keep posting here so that we can support you through this. There is a way out. Please stay strong. Sending you positive vibes.
Will visiting a food bank take off some of the strain? It helps me both financially and emotionally.
I just need to calm down a bit. I know I need to make some phone calls, at least call the bank that financed my car and see if they can work with me.
It’s never going to end, though. Things are always going to be like this for me. The bills and debt collectors are just going to keep coming at me hard.
could you take the cat bus to work and sell your car and when you able to buy another car? You probably already know that you can’t take the cat bus to work.
I know. My property manager typically works with me, but that only goes so far. I paid my rent on the 7th this month because I didn’t have the money on the first. It never ends.
