Not trying to make a begging/pity me thread, just a info thread

But recently I had some debt collectors take $700 out of my pay check. My own fault, I wasn't paying it off like I should have. I know it doesn't sound like alot but I get paid $1k only on the 1st and 15th.

But this basically fucked up my whole pay period. I have no money for my other bills or groceries so next paycheck is going all to bills then the next next paycheck will go to groceries.

My wife hasn't been eating to save food and has been trying to make everything last to get through the next month.

I'm looking for some infographics that deal with anything that has to do with saving money like

>cooking with cheap ingredients
>cleaning with everyday items
>coupons or anything on how to do extreme coupon shit
>how to save money in general

Dude! Dumpster Dive!

You can find so much good food being thrown out you wouldn't even believe it, you just have to go and dive for it.

Look behind bakeries, grocery stores, restaurants (panera bread is known for throwing all their bread out nightly. KFC throws out literal garbage bags full of chicken, etc)

>debt collectors taking shit out of your paycheck
Is this shit legal? Are they a private company or a gub'ment one?

>> No.318824

do you live anywhere near nature? even if it's a park you may be able to find plants you can eat, look them up first ofc

700/1000$ check. Nope. Jpg go to court, that's a hardship. Go back to a court and get them to cancel that.

Or declare bankruptcy. You're clearly in too much shit

DIY laundry detergent to last you well into 2013 for under $10. Been doing it myself and I don't even need the extra cash, honestly. I honestly can't recommend it enough.

I always recommend selling off non-essentials when you need money for commodities. Collectibles are for people with money to spare. Go hock some of your dusty crap on craigslist and let your wife eat a decent meal.

More than likely a church in your local area hosts a food bank. I've visited them a few times in the past when I was in need.

Best advice I can give you about this situation in all honesty?

Don't rack up bills you can't pay. Second, pay your bills. But if you're a fucktard and fail at that...cash your check, turn around, and pull out as much money as you can. They can't take cash, ergo, if you can pull out $200 a day, strip the account down to the bare minimum needed for checks for bills.
