I've had it with all these bills! I know this has nothing to do with MH issues, but I need to find out how I'm gonna pay my bills! I am suffering because I can't pay my half of the phone bill. I just checked my balance today and I have $3 in the bank...but am expected to pay $50 today! What am I gonna do? It's things like this that make me want to give up!
I know that's overreacting, but I have this responsibility and I don't want to write a bad check. What can I do? Everybody I know is strapped for cash, also so I can't ask them for the money! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

((((Lex))))) Sorry you are having a hard time with money. God knows thats one of the worst feelings in the world. But you might have to make a trip to the pawn shop or something to borrow money. How about one of those check cashing places. Ya know, the ones that will hold a personal check until you get paid, and then you pay them back plus some interest. Just a thought? I hope you come up with the money! If I had it I'd let you borrow it, but I am just as strapped for cash as you are! So I know how awful it can be. Best of luck to you Lex!

I know how you feel. Before I got sick we were barely surviving on my salary. Now, I feel like we're drowning. I see no end in sight.
I don't think you are overreacting at all. Money, or more specifically, lack of money causes a lot of stress. Jennifer's suggestions sound pretty good. Though be careful of the check advancing, its easy to get out of control there. Do you have any money saved? We have a tiny savings account that I borrow from in a pinch. Somewhere in the classified forum there is a thread that talks about donating plasma. That would get you some money.  , I hope you figure out a plan.

Ask the phone company to give you a payment plan.

I'd go with Jennie's suggestion & contact the phone company for a due-date extension or a deferment plan before heading to ANY paycheck advance store - having worked for an 'EZ Money' before I know exactly what they do & why people get sucked into them.
