Keep ur head up I lost my $11.50 an hour job and now make only $7hr My car was reposessed and i am broke my rent is 600 a month my bills about $350 with40 hrs a week

Some how thru all this my head is still above water it just takes a bit of creativity, just keep ur head up with the knowledge that there be better days.

and prayer helps tremendously

great stress releiver

Don’t let them bother you. Your going to have them the rest of your life unless you win the lottery. Pay off the important ones and talk to the creditors and tell them that your going to send them 25 a month until you can pay more. The main thing is make a budget and stick to it, they work. Hope this helps :-)

Personally I’m not sure about prayer. George Carlin has said “I pray to Joe Pesci and get the same amount of answers praying to God”. Life is difficult and the only thing we have to do is keep breathing. I’d recommend to searching for some local help. Some churches offer some financial assistance as well as some local agencies. Social security is a good thing to, just have to fight their decision if there really is a problem. It’s a shame that the world has to revolve around money. It does so much damage.

I am in the same boat and unless youve been here you dont know how low it is to be struggling so badly that you are at your lowest point in life. I am getting counseling right now which is helpful if you are willing to work it and change. Venting is helpful and just know that there are many like us out there. And to those who say sell your computer, or belongings …..hell this is my venting station if we sell all our belongings then we get even more depressed then suicidal. Well…… I wish I had an answer…. Maybe I will scrounge up change and buy a lottery ticket and win a million and share it with ya!!!!!!! Still have that ounce of hope left…..I’M STILL TICKING!!!!!!!! lol
