Feeling better about things. Had a talk with my parents and with my roommate. Not rushing any decision yet as it's not an easy one to make...moving...especially when it comes to moving in with parents. My mom talked to my dad and (this is their idea) my dad is willing to go to the bank with me and co-sign for a loan that will cover my current debt and maybe a little more so I can get a new mattress set (mine really hurts my back and body and affects my sleep). If he does this I will be able to combine all my debt onto one bill and just have one bigger payment, probably at a lower interest, instead of my 3 credit cards and student loan. I have good credit, and they have good credit so this is probably the way to go. I always make my payments...it just means I live paycheck to paycheck and constantly end up short because of the amount of interest I have to pay the credit cards so I just keep getting further into debt instead of out. I make less then someone working full time at minimum wage here...less then $10,000 per year and about half it (or more) goes to rent (at one of the cheapest places I can find). No wonder I am stressed about money. Anyway, it could always be worse. I know that and am thankful it is not. God provides for me daily and I know He'll bring me through all this too. I'm just frustrated as this has been an ongoing stress for a few years now and I want to be back to working again. Anyway, I'm complaining too much...just trying to get it out of my head before I try to sleep. But now I'm hungry so going to eat something and then try to sleep.
