I start early because I am early! It's the end of the week! Let Joy and Celebration be unconfined!

Come and tell me--what progress have you made towards your goals this week? Finances OR frugal living, or even buying something that you've saved up towards!

Trying to work around other people in the kitchen is hard!

Sympathies on the debt. Keep plugging away at it. If you can pay more than the minimum, you'll get there eventually. For me, the hardest thing to do about it was decide to do something about it and then work out a sustainable plan that was a good compromise between quickest repayment and still having a life. Once I'd done it for a while it was just routine. It took a while until it felt like I saw results though.

I'd feel much more comfortable if I had a FT job; the payments are fairly manageable when I'm employed, but the temporary stuff I have right now is temporary, and the job search is super-stressful. If I end up unemployed for more than a month (if that), I'm not sure what I'll do, since I'm not even remotely eligible for unemployment.

But I'm trying not to dwell on that.

Call the CC companies. A lot of them will work with you to get more manageable payments. They'd rather do that than end up getting nothing if you declare bankruptcy!
