Thy Geekdom Come Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 So...my monthly rent is around $500 + utilities...ridiculous for state-owned housing... I got a job and my cash is rising steadily. My rent, however, goes up in large jumps. So I was about to be all caught up and bam...another month's payment due with another minimum balance. The next time I get paid will be after the next payment is due. If I'd had a job two weeks earlier, I'd be in the black...now, I'm looking at fines.

Old_Joe Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Well. I just saw Merchant of Venice and my advice is don't take out a loan where a pound of your flesh is used as collateral. Although you could just go and marry a rich heiress like the main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoketos Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Take a pay day advance...Either from your boss or one of those creppy loan places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 If you call the credit card company and explain the situation and give them a date that you will have the payment to them, they will usually let the late payment go. They're pretty flexible with fees if they know that their money is coming. I've done this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picchick Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Those Nebraskians I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I know how it is to be money tight. Looks like I will be eating Ramen all year next year if even that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
