I know someone in a similar situation, who is very bad with money, is serously in debt and doesn't seem to know when to avoid situations that will make the situation worst!Mariela Alethiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109474450521019305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-87863634521257031372009-10-10T15:18:18.716-04:002009-10-10T15:18:18.716-04:00I'd look for someone with a MSW who does couns...I'd look for someone with a MSW who does counseling--you're depressed but still functional and don't have a larger deeper issue just the need to be accountable and get a push to get started on figuring your way out of this. Someone should be able to help you with this in a few sessions, but I'm not a professional, just someone who goes to therapy every so often. <br /><br />I'd also chat up someone about the larger financial picture, but at the moment on what you've given you have two issues to figure out--is it worth it to forestall loan repayment by using credit cards to finish the degree, and what does your longer range financial picture look like, and how can you maximize your strengths.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382434220023284946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-87117932875517114812009-10-09T23:05:30.792-04:002009-10-09T23:05:30.792-04:00Kerry, what kind of professional help?

I had a hard time from 2006-2008 being unemployed/underemployed, and I hope you can start to break out of it soon. Maybe just a little professional help?Kerryhttp://atomiclibrarian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-46739381015350428822009-10-09T18:22:50.898-04:002009-10-09T18:22:50.898-04:00You're still good with money -- you just don&#...You're still good with money -- you just don't HAVE any to be good with. If you were bad with money, you'd be seriously in debt instead of avoiding thrift stores.<br /><br />Unless you're at a very good deal with your credit cards already, it's worth a call to the companies to see if they can cut you a better one. That might open some options for you.drwendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583869876969470655noreply@blogger.com
