Hello, I am obviously new to the group. I have been seeping deeper and deeper into debt over the course of five years. I am working on paying it off. Seems like its going to take forever to do. I have seven credit cards to my name. Four of which are consoliadted and it'll take roughly 4 years to pay it off.
Now what really stinks is I want to do a couple things in my life. I just got my driver's license last month. I want to get a car. If there was a bus system that went by my home I'd take the bus of course. I do not know how this will go with my credit score being at 600 and being around 7k in debt. I also want to go back to school to get my associates. I know I can apply for financle aid, which I have already done, just now waiting for the results. I really do not want to take out another loan. I am trying to pay off these cards and now a medical condtion just arised and I have to take care of that along with the doctor bills and prescriptions. I do work, just not making enough. My rent also went up too. So this year not a great start. ugh,

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz


what you need is way to increase income....seeking new job is that trick...keep feelers out for new work and apply everywhere....
good luck
The only way I have ever "made" money was by cutting down on my expenses.
I was really shocked at the amount of money I was throwing away on things I didn't really need, or for that matter, things I didn't really want.
I am considering studying two courses simultaneously, one to train as a Teacher of 'Essential Skills' and the other being a Course in Graphics Design. I just hope and pray I don't stretch myself too far with my goals.
