Help Debts

Posts Tagged ‘job’

This is mine …

The way things are being handled in Washington can lead a voter to believe that either the debt issue is a farce or that our political leaders have lost their capacity to govern. Our politicians are not statesmen and for the most part we don’t expect them to be (a true statesman is rare).

What we do expect them to be is a politician. A politician’s job is to negotiate. Because this country is so diversified we need to constantly find a middle ground in order to move forward and maintain a quality of life. That is called a democracy. However, we also make mistakes. The only people who don’t make mistakes are the ones who do nothing.

Today, we are faced with leadership (on both sides of the aisle) that has failed this country. The leadership has failed because they have made “mistakes” and they don’t know how to set the expectations of the citizens. Getting the “vote” has become so important that the politicians let the people believe what they want no matter how foolish it is.

Because of the times we live in, it’s not going to be easy for this country to get out of this mess. It may have gone too far. The leadership needs to be honest with themselves and the people of this country. Some people may not like it and will kick and scream, but they’ll get over it. The problem we are face with is “everyone’s’” problem not just Washington’s.

For the past several months, it seems like every time I check the news I can count on seeing at least one article about how to handle lay-offs, cope with high gas prices, or manage your spare cash down to the last penny.

With so many people already buried in mountains of debt and multiple massive-scale company lay-offs, it is a scary world to be going into (I am about to graduate from high school and college is going to leave me severely in debt… and what if I can’t even get a job to pay it off?)

I know that the economy has gone through this before, but I wasn’t alive to see it happen. I don’t understand what it looks like to go from an economic peak to a trough and back again.

So I guess my question is… how do you think this is going to play out over the next few years? Is it going to get worse, better? Does the situation depend on what our dearest leaders decide to do about it? The whole ordeal has me feeling very confused and lost… any insight is greatly appreciated.

I am happily 10 weeks pregnant. The father, my wonderful bf, and I are so happy. This was an accident. We were planning on kids in 4 years, marriage in 2. We used protection, but it just kind of happened. I am NOT a teenager, so please don’t tell me I am too young. Both Jamie and I have good, well paying jobs and are not struggling at all. We have new cars and are buying a house together (we were in the process of buying one before I found out). Well, my parents do not like this. They keeps telling me to abort or adopt. They either scream at me or ignore me, telling me that it is selfish to keep the child and that children ruin your life… Both Jamie and I have finished school and have started our careers. I have been on my job for 1 year now. Jamie has been on his for 2, and like I said, we are doing well in terms of money. We have NO debt. Jamie has paid his student loans and I paid for school out of pocket (myself, with no help from parents) and never had any loans.

I hope that paints the picture for you all. Please give me some advice on how to handle them…
Thank you all so much. I do not know why they are acting this way. I love them and i want them a part of my life and a part of the childs life, but idk if I can handle the way they are treating me… It’s not like I am 16 and pregnant… I just don’t understand. I am on my own, independant and make m own money. I have never had any debt because I am smart and pay cash for almost everything, even my car…

My dad is Romanian, and he’s the most controlling and judgemental person I ever met..
He is mad that I’m not married or have kids.
He doesn’t like my glasses, he thinks I should have short hair and doesn’t like it long, anytime I’m home he says "You need to go out and find a husband".. He gets mad if I have my hands in my coat pockets, he will judge my makeup, he gets mad when I hang out with my friend and says "Don’t hang out with girls, go find a man".. I mean he judges everything I do!

I work one job 40 hrs a week, and the other job I work about 15 hrs a week.. I want to move out, but need to pay off credit card debt and get it out of the way so I can afford rent..

Please give me all the advice you can, how can I make more money on top of working 2 jobs..

I want to move out and have my own life..

I give my parents 100 dollars a month, cause that’s all my mom wants.. But my dad says to me "you live for free here"..

i’m so sick of it!

My old car has had it and I have several thousand dollars of credit card and other debt. If I go debt consolidation first, can I still get a car loan? Yes, I am aware that is making the problem worse, but my wife got a job and I’m on the way to getting a better job so we are trying to earn our way out and spending a lot less. But we need the cars to get to work.

I’m alone four days a week because my husband works. His job is good enough that I don’t have to work, besides, we only have one car until our second one gets fixed. I’ve been married two years next month and our finances are in order. I love my husband, but he wants to wait for over another year until he would be okay with having a child. I understand he just wants the best for our family, but he wants our finances to be air-tight, which I think they are. Even with minimal debt, and a secure job that he loves, hub says no to kids. I’m wondering if he’s just afraid of having kids because he will become afraid he will be like his father. Do I go on for more than a year, being alone like this, or do I just stop taking my pill so I can give someone the gift of life? My husband’s the type where "I can’t be loving unless the finances are taken care of," which means . . . he’ll never be ready, because there’s always car insurance, paying off the car, house, etc. How do I handle this?
