I feel.. overwhelmed.

Scared

Each month I go deeper into debt...

How much longer till it's all used up?

Ends are not being met.

I'm anxious... stressed... the credit card bills are getting higher...

Even though I am doing as much as I can at my boyfriend's mom's house to earn money, cleaning and taking her to appointments.

It's all dwindling down...

I'm selling things online, am over a month late for my car registration renewal, and got pulled over today because of it, got a ticket, a fine of $96, where will i get that, if i couldn't afford to get my registration renewed ...

My stomach hurts... its just getting worse and worse...

(((krisakira)) - does your boyfriend work and are you on disability? Do you both pay his mom a certain amount for expenses?? I think its so important for all people to learn how to handle money and budget. Could you speak to a financial counselor about the mounting credit card debt - he/she can help you figure out where the money is going and find solutions. I pray it will get better for you.

I cannot get a job, I am on disability

We do NOT pay his mom anything. She pays Me for doing housework and other things for her

it is not about not managing our money right, We Do Not Make Enough

Thanks for explaining and I'm not aware of the details of your situation. I didn't mean to offend you.

That seems to be an issue with many people now Kris. This fact does not help you, I know I am in teh same situation hun. That is why I ended up in hospital for a few days. A financial advisor might be able to help get some people off your back though. It might be worth a try. I am coming out of bankruptcy myself and now cannot find work. I feel your pain, Kris. At least try to find ways to relax yourself when it feels so bad. Wish I could help more.

Thinking of you in Canada. Big Hugs
Thanks for this!

Ingrid, I am making my credit card payments, so there's no real problem with people being on my case about it. But thanks. I guess I have that to be thankful for. That I only have 1 collection agency billing me for a hospital bill from before I got medicaid and that I am able to comply with them. I think it really helped for me to vent. Still got probs but doesn't seem like the end of the world anymore. Thanks guys for the support

it is rough--- a lot are in the same boat, all you can do some times is keep trying.

I know at times i can't sleep due to thinking too much of my bills, medical, rent, food, animals and so forth--- it comes to a point that you have to realize-- I am trying- I know for some trying is not good enough but that is what helps me keep going.

It will have to end at some time right/ I keep telling myself that-- LOL funny thing I will have a loan paid off this coming feb.. but I have to go to court this december in a few days for an accident-- i hit down a sign and saw that i also tore down a fence... I am anxious to know how much all this is going to cost and if i am going to have to make payments lol.. On top of it- one medical bill is charging me interest due to I did not pay them off fast enough as they like-- w/e ya know I made my own tracking sheet and put at the bottom of theirs-- This does not include your interest... It makes me laugh some times-- why- cuz I am trying, and these people can be so blind to see that they are just so cold hearted to do as they do and just want their money... granted three medical places are at lesat a little considerate-- they did some write offs one I just had to ask and I sent in my income to them along with my other bills...

As far as collectors for places- I try to avoid that by atleast sending just what I can each month-- if thye don't accept hey- I got my copies of what I sent, and the others cashed in the same amount, around the same time that they should had-- idk if that would hold up in court but I have the peace of mind to know I did what I could-

I am sorry to have a simi-bad attitude on this-- some days I go F u c k it cuz really I am trying all that I can--

I hope you best- I hope you see what I am saying

You are trying all the best that you can, if it is not good enough for people collecting, well sorry- it is all you can do-- can't squeeze blood out of a turnip right??
