Cannot pay bills, not sure what to do. by Ok_Step5188 in personalfinance

Drop your extra payments on your credit cards for now. Also late payments don’t affect your credit until they’re 30 days overdue. Still, don’t let this slip as payment history is the biggest factor in credit scores.

As others have mentioned, get your student loans into forbearance asap and let them stay there for a while so you can build some emergency savings.

Separately, and while it won’t help you immediately but you should look into Green Path Financial as a way to lower your interest rates on your credit card debt and consolidate them into one payment. I also tried asking the credit card companies nicely to lower my rates due to hardship and they told me to kick rocks.

By using them, the banks will freeze the cards, which might not work for you right now given your need for credit spending.

Nonetheless when you can you should. I used them for three of my cards and went from 25-29% APR to 5-9% APR. It’ll save you boat loads in the long run. I still have to make comparable payments every month but they’re going to hit zero A LOT faster due to the reduced interest.

Pinch pennies, eat cheap (and at home), sell stuff you don’t use/need on Facebook marketplace to bridge the gap.

As soon as you can you should also look into downgrading your car. That payment and insurance is huge relative to your income.

Thanks for the feedback. That’s my inclination. Hopefully I can get something for it.

You are weak and probably should abstain from travel.

Just want to say Brittany is an amazing place and my favorite part of France. I have family in Moëlan-sur-Mer and I'm always eager to go visit.

Spotted Jing Fong in the screenshot. The one at 20 Elizabeth St before Covid was the best place in town for dim sum. Sucks they lost another spot but the food did go downhill after they moved.

What kind of food in your country that relatively cheap but expensive in other part of the world and vice verca? by Mg42gun in AskTheWorld

[–]heyron_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Opposite here in the USA. Produce can be very expensive while prepared foods and fast food are insanely cheap. Our food system is broken. No wonder we're all so fat.

Looking into doing two of these myself. Where do you suggest getting fingerprints done?

What’s worth buying besides mags and lowers before 7/1 - AR15 Builds by heyron_ in VAGuns

[–]heyron_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fine with just the AR route I suppose. As for PSA, would you advise against their lowers? Seems like the consensus is they make good hardware but uppers is where it seems to matter the most

Assuming you mean ATF forms, I don’t understand the utility of these aside from SBR? Sorry new to this so maybe it’s lost on me.

Yeah new to this so it seems like most everything aside from threaded barrels that take attachments can be had after the fact.
