Mish, last year I advertised as a distance PA, so it means you are a PA to someone and organise their meetings, do typing etc but from home and charge an hourly rate. I had two takers, it proved quite popular to individual entrepreneur types.

Amazon has preset shipping. And it's actually pretty accurate as you can ship media mail (which is slow, but cheap!). Definitely worth creating a seller's account IMHO.

I used to buy and resell my textbooks on Amazon. smile

I finally decided I can't tough it out any longer in my financial situation. I am filing bankruptcy. I am scrambling to come up with the court fees by next Friday so I can get it filed before my wages end up garnished. It's almost a relief to be doing this but on the other hand I feel like a total failure for having to go this route. What a dichotomy.

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. The most important thing is to develop a budget plan so that you don't end up right back in debt again.

It's a big step, Mish. It takes courage to face up to what you have to do. Keep us updated. Thinking of you smile

As you know it isn't the end of the world. You can get through it. You need to get all of your financials together. If you haven't already you will need to go to a credit counselor. They will have to be able to print out a form that you did go. From the time I filed, it was about a month later I had to go to the court. Then about 2 months later it was over.

I wish that my ex hadn't forced us to take this route but I can't change the past. You will be fine.

Hugs, kat

Thinking of you, Mish. I know how hard that past months have been but I also know this is not the route you wanted to go. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

Life goes on. It WILL get better.

Hugs,

Tough decision to make, but do what you gotta do. It'll be a fresh start at least!

Yes it will. Considering that my income doesn't quite cover my expenses every month anymore, that extra going out and one big ugly coming after me was more than I could stand.

Well, filing is done. In 4-6 months it will be complete. I can't tell you the amount of stress this has lifted off my shoulders already! My hair was falling out, my face was breaking out, and I couldn't sleep at all.

Again, not at all what I wanted to do but when faced with garnishment and not being able to put a roof over my child's head anymore this was the best solution.

Thank you all for being so supportive and loving.
