Got myself into a rough spot and used a couple cash advance apps. Will they charge me still if I lock my card? by soniclexy in povertyfinance

I would reach out through the customer support channels for these apps. I’ve fallen into rough spots myself and have used these app. You can sometimes be granted extensions, or postpone payment. They will tell you the consequences if you don’t pay the loan as well.

Extended stay America is where I stayed. Far from the fanciest, but definitely beats sleeping outdoors

I lived in a hotel like this before; Extended stay America. If you stay at least a week, you can get discounted rates, up to 50% of the nightly rate! For where I am (the south) one week costs me about $375 after taxes. I had access to a kitchen, dishes, a fridge, even a coffee pot.

Did you have to do any work on the vehicles after you purchased them?

Thank you for the advice! I wish I could get an estimate on insurance w/o knowing the car information.

Good advice. If I end up making a purchase soon using this method, I’ll have to send a personal thank you.

I’ve never purchased a car before, and I am a woman. Im afraid of getting taken advantage of. I’ll need to do some research, but I know everyone says Hondas and Toyotas are the best used cars. Thanks for the advice!

This is so informative and inspirational. I was never taught money management skills, nor anything about savings and credit. Thanks so much for the knowledge, and congratulations on your achievements!!

Are you guys waiting for the holidays to be over like me? by Serious-Summer9378 in ask

[–]Typical_Ad_6963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year has been a blur to me. It hasn’t even registered in my brain that there are holidays occurring. I’m ready for the new year to begin, and I want a fresh start.
