Anonymous - Poster in Debt looking for help

[bjl584]

Hello i am 21 (f). I worked full time until last week i got fired. I just moved into my apartment by myself in january. A lot of my debt is so stupid because i was in a long term relationship (4 years). I never had to pay rent. It was extremely abusive and toxic. I had ti get out

Two years ago i got into some serious medical debt because of how sick i was. It is now around 7k to three different hospitals. They all went to collections, i cannot afford to pay three different collections.

I pay my car which is 400 a month and my rent is 645 a month.

I also am stupid and took out a 5k loan when i moved so i could afford to do so.

I make decent money. Almost 4k monthly. But it seems that I cant keep any money in my bank account. I rely on credit cards that i have to pay off in full every month to stay afloat. Missing just this last week of work is already making me so stressed. I am at a loss i have no idea what to do. I have no family to help me, i am all on my own.

I started off a bit more compassionate, but the more I re-read it the weirder her story gets.

She has stupid debt because she was in a relationship.

She never had to pay rent but she is debt.

There is $7k in medical debt to three separate hospitals. What, the first two didn't tell her what she wanted to hear so she found a third?

I think we are missing a full picture of her situation.

She is 21. She can get any part time job today to get income coming in. She needs a budget. The credit cards all need to go. Take some night classes. At least there are no kids in the picture.
