Hello, I am in dire need of paying off the balance of a couple of credit cards. Back in 2020, I quit my job due to a toxic work environment and the fact that my dad passed away and I was having a rough grieving period.
I took a couple of months off to make it through the holidays then started job searching again. I have been searching for so many months with no response back. For a while, I had enough money to cover my bills until this year. I was hoping I’d have a job by now. I even started some freelance endeavors but have made very little off them to help me out. I already owe family members money and can’t bear to continue to ask them when I know they are struggling financially as well.
While job searching, I have been coping with my depression as best I can and trying to not let the lack of response bother me too much. It’s been hard to keep from feeling like a failure, but I continue to try and make money where I can in the meantime. Every day, I check for jobs and submit applications hoping to hear back from someone.
On top of that, I feel like I would have let my dad down if he knew the situation I am in. I had an amazing credit score before all of this and now I have to rebuild it. I don’t know what he would have said to me, but I can only hope that he wouldn’t be too disappointed.
I haven’t been able to make payments on some of my cards for the past couple of months. I’m looking for around $1500 to completely pay them off so it’s one less thing I must stress about. I could use a little more to help out with future bills if I still don’t hear back from any employers, but my goal right now is to just pay off the cards, so I no longer have to worry about them every month.
It’s hard for me to admit that I need help and even ask for it, and I never thought I’d be here. But I hope that when I make it through this and have a job again that I can pass along the love. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you have an amazing day.
