Quote From: queentweenAs Patsy Cline said to all working girls, "Keep your chin up and your skirt down!" You will get ahead. You just need to give yourself a little break from worrying about money all the time. Have you called your creditors to tell them what is going on? Can they give you a break on interest, or lower your payments for a while until you get settled? Don't try to get an extra job right now- just keep concnetrating on NOT buying stuff, NOT grabbing something at the deli rather than making supper at home, NOT grabbing a latte on the way to work and making a coffee at home instead. Its tougher, too, because right now, you probably don't know a lot of people in the new place, and loneliness makes everything harder. Keep plugging and keep going- the only way you don't succeed is when you stop.......Queenie
Queenie,
Thank you for the advise. I've been trying to do some of your suggestions and i have seen a little improvement. I know i shouldn't be worried about money, but it's hard not to think about when every little thing you need has something to do with money. Then too, i'm so far away from home, it's not like i can just go to a friend or Mom and ask for help. I haven't tried calling some of the creditors, but i will definitely give that a try. It sounds like a really good idea. Maybe they will be understanding. You know, it's all the little unexpected bills thats hurting me right now. Slowly but surely, i will get them out of the way and then i can focus on getting those blasted CC out of the way. Creditors really stick it to you when you're late on a payment for one of those. They add all kinds of fees and charges. I didn't realize that being an adult would be so hard. I have a very long road ahead of me and this part has been truly an eye opener for me. Keep me in your thoughts as i will do the same for everyone thats in the same situation. Take care and again, thanks for the advise, i really appreciate it....NTYCE25
