I so need to rant. I feel like I'm drowning in debt and have no way out.

A lot of this debt is due to necessities, i.e. medical bills, rent, etc. I have nothing left when I pay these bills, and what's even worse, I can't pay these bills in full.

I feel like I'm bleed out money which I don't have; this in turns leads me to become very depressed. I work, but I'm still not making enough to meet my immediate needs. It's horrible.

It's even worse since it seems like everything went up. Groceries is so darn expensive and everything else keep going up, we'll at least in NY anyway although I heard it's all over. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so frustrated!!

Hi Forever,

I understand how you feel. Especially during the holidays. Not having the money you need makes it difficult.

Sometimes the hospitals and doctors offices have grants or programs to help you financially. They don't tell you about them though, you have to ask. I had a fund pay for a surgery one time. It sure helped.

You could check with the department of human services too. They might help you temporarily until you can work on a budget or a way to make sure you can pay your bills and still have money to eat or for emergencies.

I hope that things get better. I know that there are a lot of people going through the same thing as you. Our household is tight, but so far we are okay. I am paying bills to two different hospitals. I have one almost paid off now. Seems like they just get bigger and the funds get smaller. Groceries, my gosh, most things have doubled in price. I feel like our grocery store is doing a little gouging. Not sure though.

Take care Forever...

Hugs, Karen...

Yes, inflation is going through the roof -- not only in the US, but all over the world as well. The main reasons given are COVID and Ukraine. The finance talking heads are saying that maybe this is leveling off now and we'll see prices go back down, but people are suffering for the time being.

Pooling resources is one way some are dealing with this, such as sharing a house and living costs. I'm trying to figure out some arrangements myself, since I'm not exactly in a good spot on this.

Just another reminder of the wealth gap in the US, where some can watch TV and play games all day without working while others shuffle two or three jobs and still can't make ends meet.

Forever I can not add and advice.

I can add empathy though
In the beginning of divorce proceedings. Husband dragging it out .
By Feb monthly bill will be put on credit cards.
I will die in debt.
But I have to try.

BnotAfraid, I'm so sorry to hear you're going through that. Money woes never seem to end. I'm also putting a lot of things on credit card which I hate.

It's such a miserable feeling. I'm at my wits end.

GB and Paul_t, thanks for your advice. Hope we all get through this.

KEEP STRONG EVERYONE.
YEP, WE ALL BEEN HIT HARD, ALL OVER THE WORLD.
MY STATE WAS THE MOST LOCKED DOWN STATE IN THE WHOLE WORLD! FACT.
YEAH, SURROUND YOURSELF AROUND PEOPLE, SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
MANY COMMUNITIES ARE GATHERING TOGETHER IN MUTUAL EFFORTS TO ASSIST.
DIFFERENT GROUPS, COOKING, FINANCIAL ETC.
COMMUNITY CENTRES ARE EFFECTIVE WITH PROFESSIONALS WHO GIVE THEIR
TIME TO ASSIST IN VAROIUS AREAS.
LOVE 2 ALL. HT

GREAT POST HT.

SOMETIMES WE FORGET WHAT WE HAVE IS GOLD TO MILLIONS OF OTHERS. THIS YEAR WORSE THEN I REMEMBER.

HOPEFULLY THE STATE OF FOOD SUPPLIES, WORLD WIDE WILL
IN LOGIC "SHOULD" open OTHER AREAS UP SUCH AS GROWING RICE WHICH IS DROUGHT RESISTANT IN INDIA.
THERE IS A SMALL SCIENCE ORGANIZATION WORKING ON THIS; WITH SEEDS FROM FROM EXTINCT HYBRIDS OR
SPECIES[?] IF THE PLANT.
AND SO WE MOVE ON...

JUST MAYBE IN THIS WORLD, JUST MAYBE ALL THE BS WILL SUBSIDE, THE
GREED, ETC, THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS PLANET, JUST MAYBE, I HOPE
WE CAN SEE THAT WE ARE ALL PRECIOUS HUMAN BEINGS, AND REMEMBER IT.
COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING, UNITY AND TOGETHERNESS IS WHAT IS REQUIRED,
YES, A LONG PATH FOR THIS PATH TO MANIFEST, HOWEVER IT STARTS WITH EACH OF US.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Why can't reason, logic, and common sense be the norm here on Earth?

The only explanation I can think of is that somehow, irrationality, illogical behavior, and utter absurdity are necessary for humanity to progress. Perhaps by shaking things out or something like that.

Unfortunately, that naturally leads to what we have today in terms of how much suffering so many must endure.
