Hi, this is Pinky 90. Its July 20, 2011.
I'm still struggling paying bills. Right now I have the water bill behind, but I plan on paying it tomorrow. I have student loans and Direct Loans consolidated them. I got on the income based plan, so that I pay 0 a month. Once a year I have to apply for this plan.
I have one student loan from Citi Bank that they couldn't consolidate and I don't have the money to pay it. I haven't heard from Citi Bank in awhile. I'm sure that they'll garnish my wages, because of this loan that I can't pay.
I have been taking out payday loans to help pay some of the bills, and to buy food. I have a cat and she has her needs, too.
Everything is so expensive these days. Everything seems to be going up. Its hard to keep up with all the bills. You have to buy groceries, too. I got food stamps, but only 16 dollars a month. That doesn't seem like very much. Two weeks ago I had reduced hours and I applied for partial unemployment. That hasn't come through yet. It takes a long time to get unemployment benefits. I'm sure that I wouldn't get very much. I worked 18 hours one week so I probably wouldn't get much in unemployment.
At least I'm still working. I work for a temporary service. I need to find an additional job to make ends meet better. I'm saw on the Workforce website that another temporary service is hiring for assembly jobs. That might be good to look into. I'll nave to check that out soon. I have two days off from work and I'm real glad. Working tires me out.
