I'm currently wallowing in a horrible debt, and it really sucks. Bad. I owe $1600 to the property managment comp, $1500 to the police, and $600 in court fines. I'm now working full time, and all my checks pretty much go to these causes. The only money I have for myself is from donating plasma twice a week, and for the first time in along time I'm really starting to not enjoy my life much. Anyone out there feelin me?

That sucks. Life tends to suck when you have responsibilites, that's the impression I get. That makes me sad. I don't want responsibilities, mommy!!!

I feel for ya mate...In a similar boat myself and it's a fucking worry!...
But then again, everyone I know is in debt so even tho it feels like a huge weight, it doesn't need to be....step back a bit and ask yourself whether it's worth worrying about it so much that you "no longer enjoy life" because of it...
You sound as if you're doing everything you can to get rid of the debt so shouldn't be too long before you can forget about it anyway...keep focused on that and don't let the fuckers drag you down, my friend...

my wife's aunt is paying off her credit card -- but because of the interest, she only ends up paying off the accrued interest -- so unless she strikes it rich, she'll be dead and still owe the same fucking amount :(

start a cash pyramid !!! seriously !
tell your family/friends/neighbours to "Invest" $xxx in a guaranteed double-your money scheme. They then get $xxxx back after convincing 2 or more of THEIR acquaintances to invest too. By the time you and your 1st generation investors are rolling in it , the 2nd and 3rd generation investors are scrambling to induct 4th generation investors to double their own money !!! Eventually somewhere down the line a big fuckload of gullible people you've never met will lose out when the pyramid collapses (ie when the police investigate & publicise through the media)
Meanwhile , you and your mates are living it up, or paying off your debts !!
This happened recently in Lancashire in the UK and the police couldn't do a thing, because no laws were being broken! : )

Lots of people though, Smokehammer, have been screwed over by these schemes haven't they?
That'd be my luck!

I've never heard of one of those schemes working.
I'd never try it either.

Grr! That makes me mad. There should be a rule about the total maximum %age you should be liable for in debt, like the most you can EVER have to pay back is 150% of the original loan.
It's the accrued interest (and different rate of interest on accrued interest in some cases) that makes people hopelessly in debt to loan sharks.
I don't see how anyone who does this sort of money lending for a living can live with themselves....

Only donating plasma twice a week? You could probably do it four or five times a week.
You might feel a bit weak from doing that but don't let it bother you.
