Well I have a little credit card debt--I know--bad. I heard that one should ask for an extension and not pay it because what does a Credit Card Company need with my piddly money... LOL... But that I think would be unwise...

Then again, they said Pride won't feed your family... Take the hit to live another day to eat...

The other issue is, job security--I have none--so, basically, I am pounding the pavement to have a better job. The seasonal stuff will start soon, so I am looking into that also. And I am doing all kinds of networking. Especially with my business in mind.

Lastly, I need to redo my budgets. But I have found that grocery shopping in bulk for items you can live off of for awhile--like rice, beans, flour, dried foods and not purchasing processed foods that much or meats--and shopping at co-opts and farmer's markets will help your bottom line. Such as, if you know how to make bread rather than buy it, it would be cheaper during these hard economic times.

Other bills might have to get cut like cell...

This whole thing is just depressing overall.
