cancel the stuff you don't need, got to break it down to bare bones for a bit. def need to call up the creditors man, don't run from it just take it as it is and ride through it.

Like a few people said... Call the people you owe money. A lot of people are in the same situation right now and creditors want any money they can get, if you go under they don't get shit.There is a good chance they will negotiate with you.

sell your car and take the bus, bike, walk, or buy a beat up car when you get everything else payed off. ask the court if you can do community service since you dont have the money, you might have to clean up trash or something but fuck it, you wont have to pay. cancel your internet, cancel your phone and get a pre-paid cellphone or just use payphones. see if you can get a roommate or move in with a family member or something. if you cant pay your credit cards, if worse comes to worse, you might have to declare bankrupcy.

im no expert, i dont really know how that shit works, but check into that kind of stuff.

stay strong. you'll pull through this. no matter what happens, the sun will still shine on you, the air will still be fresh to breathe. churches and other organizations give out free food and stuff, survival will still be easy enough, especially if you have friends.

DONT drink to ease the stress or start doing alot of drugs, that wont get you anywhere, your gonna have to be strong to get through this. my friend and his mom got evicted awhile back, he slept on mine and my friends floors and couches for almost a year, they finally got a place though and are doing better. my family got evicted last year right when all our cars were broke and right when my dad lost his job, we found a place after a few months and are doing good even though were kinda broke. i got friends on section 8 and shit. you just gotta stay strong and find the positivity in all aspects of life, dont let money get you depressed, take a walk, hang with friends, create some art or something. dont let the struggle get the best of you, things will unfold as they are meant to. and if your depressed now, just keep in mind that you'll be happy somewhere down the road.
thats the best advise on here. but yeah, you gotta prioritize your money now. make arrangements with the bill people that are most important you pay (court payments, rent, etc.). think about what you're gonna have to do without, like all the things people have mentioned (car, phone, internet etc.). And try to find as many jobs as you can. I was in pretty bad shape not too long ago and had to start working 4 jobs. Had no more time to myself but it slowly got me back on my feet. but everyones situation is different so do what you have to and can do...but just know that bouncing back is very possible...dont become a crackhead. good luck.


this doesnt sound like a bad idea either:
Damn, sounds like you hit some hard times.

Look here's what I can do for you - I met this Nigerian prince on yahoo chat and he's willing to give me over 2 million dollars to help him out of this little situation. Apparently people in his country have been ripping him off millions of dollars and I was going to let him use my bank account to transfer some of his money out of the country.

I don't need the money - send me a pm and I'll hook you up with his IM name on Yahoo.

consolidate all your bills into one.. there are some places that can do that for you so you have just a single payment on all of them. I suggest you start to look for a place to live in the san juaquin county area where its cheaper..

Stop living on credit. Let go of the car, cut up ur credit cards, make a budget with ur income, and discipline yourself to your NEEDS. WANTS are what get people in financial quagmires.
