KAZ - they wont cancel CC without them being paid out so they've been cut up instead (by me) and once their paid off they will be CLOSED!!! FOREVER!!!!!
SAM - I'll keep plodding - you know how far Ive come in the last few months just gonna be tougher again
TONI - nahh im not going to bother with a broker and stuff, ive bene rejected lol so will just re wrangle stuff and go forth and pay pay pay
If you're not able to get a loan would you be able to get another CC with an interest free or low interest balance transfer? That way you could close the other credit accounts because they'd be paid out and pay off the debt at a lower interest rate.
Oh Maz I totally understand! We're so broke this week, we only had $10 to feed us for the entire week. So it's toasted cheese sandwiches for the next three days. I just don't know what we are going to do until payday once we run out of bread. I've got some lentils in the pantry (which has been raided last week already) and I could maybe make half a loaf of bread from some leftover flour. Yep, it's tough alright. Dp looked at me yesterday and said: You'd never thought you would be living in this kind of luxury when you moved to Australia with me! Ah, he's a charmer. It's funny, when I say to SIL that we can't come out to dinner, because we literally can not afford to buy a meal at the pub (geez, that money could feed us for a week), she replies with: I understand, we all have to watch our money. Ummm, wait a minute. You have a combined income of $140,000, have NO mortgage, NO rent, eat out EVERY night and spend about $300 a week on clothes, exactly HOW do you understand? I can't even afford THREAD to fix my totally-falling-apart-work-pants, let alone a complete new pair of pants.
Sorry for the vent. It can get soo frustrating. I am so impressed that you cut up your credit cards. we think the same way. We *could* put a huge grocery bill on our cc, but that would just put us further behind. I rather do it tough for a while. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. And you know what you are working towards. You're doing a fab job.
Hugs, darl.

But you've still cancelled the CC's, right? So the debt won't build
