Question

can't sleep due to unbearable amount of immediate debt. Please any suggestions on how to overcome this

Answer 1

You are singing to the choir.  My husband and I live in seperate houses about 100 miles from each other and he comes out on the weekend.  He pays his bills and I pay mine.  He helps with the kids some, we have 3.  You don't go into a lot of detail about how bad your situtation is but here are some ideas that I have tried:

1st if you are working try to get some extra hours, if you are hourly.

2nd- check with local charities.  I sat down and hand wrote and mailed about 10 letters asking for help and got 2 responses that helped me.  One gave me 1500.00.  I was shocked because I heard that this charity never helps individuals but gives their money to organizations.  They helped me though.

3rd- file bankrupcy.  Everyone thinks that it is horrible, but so is being homeless.  You can't worry about your credit when you can't feed your kids.

4th-ask family and friends for help. If you are too proud for that then start a food plan with some of your relatives.  My sister, my mom and I have a plan now where we all eat at a different house one day a week.  It saves money because you don't have to cook 2 days a week, or more if you have retired family members.  They love having something to do, my mom would have us come over there every night to eat if she had her way.

5- babysit on your off time, or trade babysitting if it is hurting you financially.

6-go back to school.  You can sign up for grants and student loans.  If you go to a 4 year institution you can sign up for a pel grant, plus whatever state grants there are, plus take out student loans of about 5,000 a semester.(2 times a year) This should cover your tuition books and housing while you go to school and when you get out your earning potential will be a lot better.  Plus with student loans they have you pay them back based on your income, I pay $5.00 a month.  And you don't start paying until you are out of school for a while, and if you drop out and are still not making any money they will defer the loan.
