Name your number...If youdare.

My credit card debt is $4,100.38. Doesn't sound bad except that the interest rate is 29.7%! It got that way because I failed to make payments (long story) and they closed the account on me.
Still doesn't sound too bad until I tell you that I'm out of work after just having graduated college. I have a part-time job while I search for work.
Anyone else want to confess their number?

Hello and welcome to the board.

Well...I need all of the prayers and positive thoughts from as many people as I can get!!!!
I took my head out of the sand. IT'S PRETTY DARN SCARY OUT HERE!!!!!
I have:
$15,000 cc debt (rounded up)
$19,000 home equity line that I pay interest only on
$11,000 van payments
______________
$40,000
Now comes the panic zone...
My montly expenses:
597.00 Mtg.
150.00 condo fee
200.00 electric(heat)
55.00 cbl
80.00 cell
22.00 internet
423.00 van payments
200.00 food (family of three plus one fat cat! :)
350.00 childcare (that is for half the month, the other half is paid by ex!)
210.00 ins for van and condo (I was involved in 2 accidents-not my fault...ins^anyway
222.00 taxes (property, van and fire?)

40.00 prescriptions
75.00 home equity line

I am missing a few other things; however, my net salary is only 4000.00 for the month!!! This is including my working overtime through covering other classes and doing detention 3 nights a week!
I don't receive any alimony or child support from my ex, as we make around the same amt of money and we have the children 50/50. Thsi is a big joke as I really have them for most of the week.
!!!!I DO NOT GET PAID DURING THE SUMMER!!!! I AM A TEACHER!!!! I did plan it so that I am getting back $5500.00 from taxes to help with no incoming money, as it would be cost prohibitive for me to send my chidren to camp for the summer.
CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE~~~~~~
sigh....
When will I be getting a settlement from the car accident...and how much will it be for?
