strange possible form of employment on the horizon... old habits die hard, i suppose... i'm curious to see how this pans out. it would certainly be an easy way to keep myself afloat while i look for *actual* work in my field and/or continue my schooling...
i need to find something ASAP... i can't handle bill collectors calling every half hour:
me: "sorry, my husband ran out on the household, so i have no money to give you. or to eat."
them: "i'm sorry to hear that ma'am, but you owe us $50."
me: "if i had $50 i'd buy food first..."
them: "well you could use it to pay your bill, then use the card to buy groceries!"
me: "huh, with my interest rate and your fees, that would leave me with roughly $30 to buy groceries. how does that work out to be the better decision?"
them: ::silence::
