    My post was kinda confusing. I pay rent at two places. Rent at home is $1,000 and the dorm is $1,400.

    Financial stress is some of the worst s*** to be under. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s tough, and you will make it out of this.

    Your credit is likely to go to s***. But that can recover and you’re not the first 22 year old to be in debt.

    Good luck.

    Having debt is actually a good thing you should never be debt free. Means you aren’t utilizing the capital available to you

    Thank you. My intention is to utilize the funds that will be provided by my insurance company for the loss of my stolen items to pay off my existing debts.

    And get an income stream ASAP. You mentioned applying with no call backs. But if you really want a job you will get one. So many places need employees!

    I get your point, however, the Burberry bag was $1k and I bought it during the pandemic. It was a one time thing.

    ok and?

    ok and?

    Now that I think about it, I remember I used points from my credit card at the time to go towards to the purchase. So I didn’t actually pay $1k.

  • This is your opportunity to improve your credit profile. keep your head up

    I mean fair enough but the system is set up in a way that you can take advantage of debt in a huge way. No one is starting a business on straight cash

    Credit card debt is diff in that interest is hella high but you should still be paying everything with credit cards and paying them off

    Paying anything in cash is literally losing out on money

    ya I mean I do that but also just because CC's are more secure than debit cards

    once you start getting into credit card hacking and trying to stack points or some s*** it becomes way more trouble than its worth imo

    Yeah for sure. I think there’s just a general fear of debt when it’s actually one of the most useful tools we have
