Yes I am slightly getting out of this. I lost my job, and I had to start selling things online. It helped for a while, because I was able to use a new credit card I was able to get to help me pay for postage, but then I got into 2000 dollars in debt. I'm slowly getting out of it because I just got a new job. Also it helps if you look for freebies online, because it saves you money from buying those things.

Thanks, it really means a lot to hear that instead of, it's all your fault. I would ask for help, but then I'd have to end up paying someone else back, at least at the rate I'm doing it all on my own and proving that I will be alright.

That's really something, I can tell you.And it's all your fault?I quess you don't know to read from crystal ball, so how would you know it is all your fault?You I don't like people like this.Is easy to blame somebody, when you really need help and support.

Yes, I have been. I was blessed that my parents could help me out for a little while. It wasn't poor planning on my part, just the fact that what I was making was almost nothing. And basic bills require more than 'nothing.' : )

That's really great to have somebody who would help you all the time.You know we are sometimes scared to catch our chance, becuase when we would be broke, we don't have anybody who would help us.Anyway I hope you are doing better now.

During college days and when I was working, several days I was broke due to excess spending than income. When I started my own business, though I was broke, it is within moments I would get the required money in business. The condition and state of broke is so horrible, I would never ask for a such a situation. I rather make up the required money by working hard than for begging others for money. I have seen several friends of mine calling me over phone, asking for some payments to balance their budgets.

So many times in my life. And I've learned from it. What else of not taking lending steps. Have to!!!!. But got to think million times. If late in making repayment mean frenz could be the greatest enemy on this world...and no more land for us to hide unless we can go to the moon....they cannot chase us.

yes I have, alot of times. but I find ways to get over it, I work hard not to be... I have this belief that a person who strives, persevere and pursue in order to makemoney will never starve...those who are lazywill always will...

yes I do believein that...Imyself don't know why that's happening but nothing is permanent.. you've been through difficulties.. then comes a good opportunity for you.. just barein mind that we are given obstacles,and trials because God wanted us to be strong and he won't give us a trial we cannot succeed on...

I have been so broke and in debt that I had to have my mom help me. I have also been so broke, that I have collected cans to have a few dollars in my pocket.
