I'm trying not to panic, but I am. I just got the mail, bill, bill, bill, bill. That's fine, I'm used to that. And I'm used to trying to scrape the money together to pay them to the best of my ability.
Unfortunately, work has been SLOW. Today I added up all the work I did this month, after tomorrow I will be all caught up and out of work and being that it's a stupid holiday week, there's nothing going on and no jobs to go on.
When I get my checks next month, they will be HALF of what I'm used to get. Yes, that's right, HALF. I have no idea what to do. I've sold everything except my soul. I have nobody to borrow any money from.
I try to stay positive, but this might be the end. I mean, I know if I miss ONE credit card payment with the amount that we owe on the credit cards it will make the interest go to high that we'd be unable to pay it. $7.00 in the savings account.
I'm scared : (

As soon as I was about to hit publish, my phone rang and it was the office saying that I'm on STANDBY for a job that "might" go tomorrow. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEASE cross your fingers for me that this job goes so I can get paid for it when I so desperately need the money!!! Sometimes they go, sometimes they don't when they're standby cases. I NEED this to go!!! *crosses fingers*
I'm scared

If you can't pay cc bill next month, make sure you pay for food, utilities and housing...in that order. After those, send some sort of payment to cc. Yes, interest may go up, but it is worse than not eating or having heat. Keep the priorities straight.

Have you thought of getting a holiday job at UPS or the mall? This might help to just get you by.
Just a thought and good luck."
I already have a second job : (

BUT...seeing as how my story of encouragement won't solve the issue at hand, maybe you could call your credit card company and work something out? All they can say is no.
Best Wishes!
