in response to seekinghelp2012...how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time. the answer is a snowball effect with a livable budget. key word livable. you cannot live on romen noodles and staying home. but you can eliminate that debt on your own con-solidation places are just that. even if they are ligit and mean well the power needs to lye on you. i have done this too. live and learn trust me snow ball that 500.oo a month in ten months you would have taken care of 5,000 of that debt, but at the rate it will go faster than that. because your other debts will be eliminated entirely. write down all of you debts even if there is an over due library book. 1 dollars. to largest debt home mortguage. pay only the minimum payments on all of them and focus the remaining money on the smallest or smallest 2-3 debts say a furniture bill or small credit card. and then pour the savings into next months debts and repeat. i got a easy to under stand from a chapter in the book called "Getting control: the complete guide to getting yourself out of horrible debt by troy flora available on amazon.com good luck! any qestions just ask me. i did it and you can too.
in response to The Real Cie...I don't know what to say, I have bipolar, Fibro,ADD PTSD,. I don't work lost my job, waiting for disibality, but I wont be to live on that. I havent eaten in a few days. But there is no help for me, and this is bull. We have TV minister living in million dollar home, they are worth billions. They live tax free, almost everything they buy is tax free. Company come to the US they are tax free for several years. who made these stupid tax laws?
There are a lot of people here who need help so I'm not terribly hopeful, but here goes. I am mentally ill. I have type II bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder which partially manifests as hoarding disorder. I have hoarded objects, not animals. I have 5 cats, which some may think is "a lot of cats" but it does not qualify as animal hoarding. I am working on the hoarding problem but it is an uphill battle. Sometimes I do better than others.
In spite of my mental illness, I do work. I make well above minimum wage, as I make $17 an hour. I work 32 hours a week. This is about all I can do without it making me extremely depressed or physically sick. I also have fibromyalgia and sciatica as well as asthma and mild hypertension.
I fall into a marginalized category. Because I make the salary I do, I do not qualify for food stamps. However, once taxes and insurance are taken out of my pay, I only take home about $1400 a month. I am in an upside down mortgage in a mobile home and my credit is damaged. Thus refinancing seems to be out of the question--no-one will touch me. Between mortgage and lot rent, I pay $1100 a month.
My mother has helped me out for several years with utility bills. I do not eat much except at work. I get things like cheese whiz and crackers and canned fruit juice or jello that does not need refrigeration when I am at home as I do not have a working refrigerator.
Last year my mobile home incurred very bad damage when the water heater started leaking and I didn't know it until my son realized that the carpet in the hall was wet. The walls and floors of 3 rooms had to be removed. Overall the repairs cost over $20,000. My mother helped out with this. But she is stuck with my late father's medical bills and really can't help any more. I am ashamed to ask her for help anyway.
I do not have working plumbing except in the bathroom sink. Fortunately I am able to shower and wash my clothes at work. I do not have much in the way of furniture but I'm not so worried about that.
I still owe $43,000 on this horrible 15% mortgage, which I have had for 10 years. The original mortgage was $45,000. You can see that I am mostly paying interest. I am in a no-win situation.
I just got through paying off a bunch of payday loans that I had to take out when I was doing a month unpaid internship to obtain my LPN license last April. I also maxed out my credit cards. I still owe about $1200 in credit card bills. This destroyed my credit, which I had worked very hard to build back up to a passable score.
I have medical issues which I have not been able to afford to take care of and I have not been to a dentist in 6 years.
I feel very depressed most of the time and think about suicide every day. I am not a lazy person but I have had a lot of barriers to my success in my life.
It seems that if I had nothing at all there would be some resources from me. But since I am working and have this mobile home I fall into the Twilight Zone where no-one can or will help me.
Thanks for reading.
Wow Derrick:)I read ur story and cant believe the ordeals u have gone thru,I truly ave alot of compassion for you,and many times I wonder why "me","us".I tell u I hit a real bad spot,and I ended up hoding a sign,asking for anukind of assistance,I stood crying,as people with expexivw clothes cars would drive by,but the people whom were on the poor side were right there to help me,even offering to take me get groceries with thier lasr bit of food stamps,which i couldnt,as I felt too bad.I made 23$ that day,with probably 100plus cars,going by.just sad.I feel so many people take advantage of people,and most people are heartless towards people in need:)I will pray for u my friend:)I wish I coiuld do more:)Take care,Jill
in response to seekinghelp2012...Consolidating debts is rarely the best way to go in trying to reduce your debt levels. Best thing to do is to develope a budget and a plan and stick to it.
Does anyone know of a place to consolidate debts for persons with bad credit. I would even consider peer to peer lending if there are any wealthy individuals willing to help a single, graduate student, with a full time job. I've suffered some financial misfortunes but I'm trying to get back on track. I need about $50,000 and I can comfortably pay be $450 - $550 per month. Please help in any way that you can and it will be greatly appreciated.
I am in the same shape as U!! But I believe if I help others it will come back my way one day!! Please let me know what I can do for U!! Find me as a Friend on FB! Marsha Cooper from Kite, Ga.
in response to help4pain...Good advice from eutawangel. You can go to any emergency room and they will take a look, put you on antibiotic and pain meds. Tell them if you have no money for meds. They might can give you samples or advice on where to go for reduce or free meds. You really must get on antibiotics. Tooth abcesses are life threatening.
When in dire straights to pull through till we can get medical help, for mouth infections like ulcers or infected inflammations of gums, even tooth absesses, I do several home remedies that do give relief. In 2 ounces of cold water, mix in 2 ounces hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon salt. Swish 3-4 times a day for at least 30 seconds each time. This does help.
Also for pain... besides taking tylenol or ibuprofen, if you don't have any Anbesol or something like it to apply to the tooth, then break an aspirin into a small enough piece and place it directly on tooth. I've packed tooth with a tiny piece of cotton either soaked in Anbesol or on top of aspirin to hold it in place. Use heat on jaw to ease pain too. Listerine mouth washes and swishing around infected mouth infections and absesses helps too.
But, most of all.. those are temporary measures. You must get to an emergency room for antibiotics and pain meds. They can not and will not deny you care, especially if it is a county or state regional hospital. But, you have to ask for help paying for the meds... all options. Tell them you have no money for meds if that is the case. Been there, done that many times.
I am 62, disabled with rheumatoid arthritis, on Medicare, no dental insurance and little extra money. My teeth too have fallen apart over the last ten years. So I really do feel what you are going through.
in response to help4pain...You may very well be eligible for Medical Assistance or some govt funding that covers medical care for free or sliding scale. Your State sponsored Agency, or center on aging, etc should be able to steer you to that help. Its usually at places that give food stams, etc. You may even be eligible for senior reduced cost housing. I will pray now for jaw pain & other stuff. If you need help with tracking down assistance, email me & leave city & state & best way to contact & I'll use Web to research a bit esp your State. Also, if infected, swishing with Hydrogen Peroxide may help alot & also, go to an emergency room & when they give medicine explain that you have no money for medicine & can they make sure you get it & give your age. May God bless, protect & keep in Lord Jesus Christ.
Hi. I am at the end of my rope. I have spent the last 4days I'm pain. My face is swollen and I can't wear my partial because of the constant pain. I'm not working, just picking up odd jobs here and there to survive. I have always taken care if my teeth but once I got these partials the rest of my teeth are going bad or loose...I can't afford the dentist but know I probably need antibiotics.....can someone help or advise me. I have no medical or dental and just turned 58.

Help! I need help on bills. I've been disabled for some time now (I had a stroke). I have a couple of bills that have gone into collections, and I was talking to a collector recently who mentioned these resources. If it's possible I would like to get these bills paid off. There are a couple that are $2000 and not being able to work to pay these off has become a problem. I don't make enough with disability to make payment arrangements in order to pay these off. I'm considered permanently disabled. I want to work, but because of the tremor I have in my left hand and very limited use of it, I'm not able.
in response to WishfulThinking...i am in need of help, but there are times when i like helping people. I need help with my car getting fixed.So i can get a job in the medcial field. I am a Certified Medical Assistant

Live in the North Richland Hills ,Tx area. I need a new motor for my car CVhyrsler Sebring 2.4 motor convertible. Mitshubshi eclipse 2002 needs front end knew hood, it smokes alot, needs tune up. If there is some one out there who can help me. Please do.
Dear Ms Lee,
If you need help obtaining your disability, you can contact an attorney in your city that specializes in Disability Claims. They will take your case pro-bono and will only charge you a percentage if they are able to get you your disability started. Take it from me it is worth letting these attorneys handle your case. You will be approved much faster and will receive back pay from the date you first became disabled.
I wish you luck and I will be praying for you!

I think that the woman who is runing for the presidents job would be a good candidate and should get the job. Maybe she will look into the leagal requirements of obamas birthcertificate. I think that t was forged my self. Also obama should be taken out of office, he is distroying the nation. Blameing Congress for the wrongs that he has done. Like Bail outs and bad loans to co's that go bankrupt.
in response to montedreams...Hello, Thank you for the information. I went to the website and it directed me to the local chapter in my area, however that site said the application list is now closed due to the number of requests. If you have any other suggestions I would love to know. Again I thank you for your help.
