[quote=Anonymous]I totally agree that your family needs more income and that every penny of that income needs to pay off credit card bills, starting with the highest interest rate one.

If that means you need to take a part time job and your DH needs to take a part time job, this is what you have to do. If you have to take in a renter, so be it. I'd say working an odd hour shift at a grocery store or a drug store chain is not a bad idea as one PP suggested or a retail weekend job? If one of you has a skill (proofreading, babysitting, painting walls), start using it. Don't flinch and don't put it off. Consider it time when you can't be spending money and that you're giving yourself the gift of freedom from debt.

I am a single mom and to pay for medical bills my son and I cat sat. Oh g*d, I dragged that poor child into so many homes and apartments to take care of so many strangers' cats. Holidays like Christmas involved hauling him to 3 or 4 places to feed, scoop, etc. But you know what, I paid the medical bills and after many grueling years and horrendous holiday weekends, I don't think he even really remembers?

So that is just my way to say: you can do it. It's very hard, but you're buying something very precious.[/quote]
