I have a real problem on my hands. It all started back in June when I stopped receiving regular paychecks. Then I did the thing that former president Regan told us to do in the 80's, live off of credit cards. I did that and now my cards are maxed out. I couldn't pay the phone bills and the phone service got suspended. We have Verizon wireless and my brother has an iPhone on AT&T. I was going to switch everyone on AT&T because they seem to have better service and I only have to pay one phone bill. To make matters worse, my brother's iPhone got stolen last week and the police haven't recovered it yet. So I have to buy a replacement phone hopefully an HTC Aria or Samsung Galaxy S. I could get him another iPhone but I want one too. As for my maxed out credit cards, I plan to pay them off myself but after seeing the Suze Orman show last night dealing with a caller with a similar dilemma, I guess I have to let them know. But that aside, I need to get our phones to work again ASAP. My Skype credits will run out soon. What should I do? I have to pay the AT&T bill at least $100 in order to upgrade to a replacement phone. I can't get another job because I am a full time college student. If my parents find out, I might be homeless. What to do? Please help!

Find an extra income somehow. Stay away from your creditcard=evil Also don't buy an iPhone or any other high-tech phone because you can't afford it, think about it do you really need one? Save as much as you can on everything, don't order take outs, don't go out save save. As a last resort talk to your parents if they see you are doing the trouble to pay off debts they might help you. Good luck.

  1. Call AT&T, and explain the situation
  2. If AT&T can't help, then live off wi-fi, VOIP
  3. Get a 'Pay as you go' phone.
  4. Sell $100 worth of your stuff
  5. If you can't afford the iPhone Voice & Data plan ... It's got to GO!
