Aww Mary, I feel your pain. Don't know that I have any real advice, but certainly a lot of sympathy. We got a cash advance to keep our gas on in October, and have been paying through the nose since. Between the fees for it, and the NSF fees at my bank (not entirely the advances fault, but as they are certainly spawn of satan, we will blame them for now, lol) I have paid over $1100 since then!

Hugs Mary. I am not overly familiar with payday loans but I heard they are just about the worst thing to have to pay off.

Is there any way your fiance can help you out right now? Maybe you can borrow money from him to be paid back (at obviously a small interest rate than those payday loans...)

Just trying to think of ways to get you into the positive.

Do your teenagers work? If so, perhaps until things get better maybe you can stop giving them $$ for extras (if you give them money now that is....)

Hugs. Things will get better. Lesson learned I'm sure!
