  • Home or Health... but not both.

    "Put it in savings to stave off going broke for one extra month. My husband was recently laid off and nobody's hiring. My whole paycheck now goes to the mortgage, gas, and COBRA. If this keeps up, we will have to choose between the house and health care."

  • The Little Things

    "Why waste it, especially when I like most of the world, has leveraged their current situation with debt. As a young, fabulous and broke according to Suze Orman, I spent it on a payment to a CC bill; changing my car title to the state of Texas; bills since they're relatively low in El Paso versus Scottsdale, AZ; rental car to see my dad while in San Fran; and postage for my book-swapping club.
    This way I have a little of the responsible and a little of the things that keep me sane...but really are discretionary. "

  • Debt that doesn't go away

    "My husband and I didn't get one. he had taken out a student loan some years previous and due to a job loss had to put it on deferment. Except they never deferred the payment. It went into default and Uncle Sam Garnishes his wages and takes OUR tax returns/Stimulus checks. Also, when we call for a balance, it seems the payments are never applied...the balance goes up even after paying over 400$ monthly and 3500 in Rebates and the supposed stimulus check...where is that money going?

Unfortunatly with gas around 4.45 a gallon, credit card debt into the next solar system and the closet city twenty miles or so down the coast, plus the fact we still have not received our check all I can do now is just walk down to the beach."
