I’ve never been good with my finances but as the title states I’ve caused so much financial destruction over the past 6 months I just can’t see how to come out of it.
It started when I was in the military, I had slowly been building up debt and then got discharged two years in because of a DUI due to my alcoholism, leaving with $25k in debt. About a year and half later I finally got a great paying job and had enough to rent a room and start making payments on what I owed. About a year in to my job I became addicted to opiates and and really fucked my life financially, getting high interest payday loans and constantly living paycheck to paycheck. I finally got sober 6 weeks ago and been doing everything in my power to recover. I make more than enough money to rent a decent home, (between $3-$3500 a month), but the payday loans along with my current rent and bills leave my bank account in the negative before every payday. My girlfriend knows my situation and has been extremely supportive and helpful but I feel like she’s getting to the point where she can’t take it anymore, and I understand completely. We have to find a place to move into by September 1st or 15th and the anxiety of what I’ve put myself in is the most overwhelming stress I’ve ever felt in my entire life. The 3 places we’ve tried so far have denied us because of my credit and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m ready to save money and make serious changes but i can’t see light at the end of the tunnel.
I’ve come here to post this looking for any sort of advice at all. If more information is needed please let me know. Also, if anyone would just be willing to just talk it would be greatly appreciated. As unbelievable as it sounds I don’t have any close friends, and would be to embarrassed to talk about it with them if I did.
