[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 107522"] I'm sorry that struggling so much. I agree that after a while pretending everything is ok when it's not, just becomes too much. 1st quarter is one of the best times to be looking for a job. Companies have their new budgets. And that's just around the corner. Have you looked into employment and temp agencies? A lot of the bigger employers don't advertise, they use agencies. Honda is out here by me and hires ALL of their staff through a temp agency and they have to work for Honda through the agency for a certain amount of time before they can be hired on permanently by Honda. Just something to consider. I know what you mean about the $10/hr. [img]:rolleyes:[/img] A few years ago I was sending out resumes and got a call from this company going on and on and on about how important this position was, blah, blah, blah. Then they said it pays $10/hr. I haven't made $10/hr since I was 19. And told them so. If the position is sooo important, pay for it! Then there will be ads in the paper and they want a 4-yr degree minimum and they want to pay $10/hr! Who can do that and pay bills, including student loans. Amazing. I'm just saying, I can relate. It's extremely discouraging. I really think you'll see a difference in the 1st quarter as to what is out there. As far as the doctor bills...they may [i]want[/i] them paid right now, but that's not what they're going to get. I bet if you sent them a check for $5, they'd take it. In fact, I've ALWAYS been told that they have to take whatever you send them. And as long as you send them SOMETHING on a regular basis, they cannot turn you over to collections or report negatively on your credit report. Medical bills are treated differently than any other debt because it's not like you went out shopping one day and said, hmmm, I think I'll have emergency gall bladder surgery. It's an unplanned and unexpected expense. I would definitely have the hospital consolidate your bills and then send them $5 a month for now. When you have more, you can send more. Take care of you.
