My car cost just under $800 to get fixed; which I mean that once again I put more in my car then it is worth. I had to charge it on my cc, so now I think my cc when over it's credit limit. So, instead of my first check from my pt job going to my loveseat it will go to the cc that my car is on, so it goes below the credit limit. Just when I think I can see the light at the end of this tunnel or at least know I'm going in the right direction. Then all sudden a rock slide happens & I have to find a new path. I'm tired of this, I just want it all. I have learned from my mistakes. I told my brother (14 yo) this weekend, if he ever got a cc I would kick his arse. I just keep thing of all the money I throwing to debt, could be going to. Like a 401K plan, a newer car, emergency fund, saving for a wedding someday, etc.

Thanks Danni. I found out that I still have $500 credit available on my GM cc, so I don't have to worry about over limit charges at least. My first paycheck from my pt job is going to a deposit on a new apt.

I think you're doing a good job already... you're aware of what's going on and your cash flow. Congrats. You had to fix your car so you can go to work and make money. Like the other poster say, think of it as an investment. I don't think you should get discouraged...keep at it.

Thanks, it just hard sometimes to look at that way.
