friends help: Hi, Can you help? - Help.com

Don’t give out personal information.

Hey you know what, i am in the same situation. I have to mov out by the end of Feb and thats why im on this site finding help too. I also get paid and all my money goes into debt. My lights had been disconnected at my house and ihave no food coz all the food i have had is bad due to no electricity. You are not the only one. In this time i used to shower in cold water, You have to be strong, remember things can only get better. I pray hard, cry when im alone and i also dont have people who can loan me money. All i can do is hope for the best. Be strong brother, remember you not alone in this one. I have to move and i dont have enough money for a new place. Im so lost too man. I say that if god puts us through this he will get us out. So dont stress too much i know what you feeling, pray as much as you can and as often as you can. Dont give up, i know we will be happy again…At leat i know that im not the only one in this situation.

Thanks Valentino. I appreciate the comfort. And what’s the problem giving out personal info Xeno? Just trying to let people know I’m not here scaming and if someone wants to steel my identity, they can have it.

It’s against the rules of the site.

I don’t know what that is like but theres a book you both should read. The guy was in the same situation, lost family, home, out on the streets. Your local library will have it to check out. Called “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by T. Harv Eker. I know, you’re a long way from millionaire but thats the point. I am not a pusher of things, its just this one book really hit me. It is worth spending 10 minutes a day to read a bit of it each night. Good luck to both of you!

And xeno, if you are really, really in debt, have you considered filing bankruptcy? Some things are not wiped out by BK but lots are. If you file, go Chapter 7, it wipes out all the debt. DO NOT go chapter 11 (it makes you repay the debt and your credit is still equally messed up as if you had just gone chapter 7) Tips for filing bk: if you have any or two credit cards with low or zero balances, do NOT include those in the bk. You will need them after the bk when no one will give you a credit card. It also helps build your credit up faster. Just an FYI, your credit will be royally messed up for several years. It stays on your record for 10 years (NOT 7) But, in the long run, 3-5 years, you may be better off. Ok, I’ll stop there but I have more BK tips if you need them.

That all said, you already know you need to figure out how the heck you can avoid making the same mistakes

Best wishes!

This isn’t my post. I just edited out the original poster’s personal information, as it’s a violation of the site rules to disclose them.

You can try your luck at online charities like Digital Charity, people may send donations if your story is convincing enough. More information at http://www.laodn.org/

what about the Military, its not that bad i really liked it when i was in a year ago. they will give you a place to stay, food, and if your smart in you case seem to be you can get 20,000 to 40,000 for signing up. sorry if i sound like a Recruiter, i just really loved being in and if thing are really that bad its something to think about. like a great man told me “sometimes you have to Cowboy up!”

xeno, yeah, my mistake. I saw your name but didn’t read close enough. When addressing xeno I meant to address “anonymous”
