When does it stop getting worse?

Yeah, financial aide stuff is really harrowing to sift through. I agree, you have to be willing to jump through hoops and kick people in their nether-regions to get them to do their jobs sometimes. (me? for various reasons, ended paying every last darn cent out of pocket - sucked through some savings, but it was worth it- love, love, love what I do. ) Get after them and don't give up until you get satisfaction!

On the bent wheel issue, I PM'd you about it.

Take care and try to keep a smile! You've got lots of support here anytime you need it!

I wish there was a simple answer...there is not I'm afraid. But....like many of the others on this board...Been There, Done that, and that, and that...
Like you, I am not a product of an over-generous family. I have put myself through school twice, and racked up the bills for it. Against my better judgement, there was a lot that I put on credit cards when I had no other option. I haven't used the CC's in years, and still owe what I make in a year. (I am currently a temp as well, with 2 degrees. They say there are all these jobs out there, but....they're just not in the right field I guess.)

Money problems suck! It's the root of all evil. Really!

The boyfriend issue...he obviously wasn't strong enough to stick with you in hard times, so screw him.

With all of the bad stuff however, it will pass. It's hard to think that when you're eyebrow deep in crap...but remember these 2 things:
1) Everything happens for a reason
2) Sometimes you have to taste the bitter, to be able to enjoy the sweet.

Hang in there buddy. You'll get through.
