Hardship comes to everyone in every form and every way. Sometimes we are faced with deadlines, which can either worsen or make the situation better if reached. We all have bills to pay and a month to do so. But what happens when you are behind in payments and you have two days to come up with $1,000.00? What are you willing to do to obtain it? This is a real discussion, because I know someone who had two days to come up with almost three times that amount before they became homeless. So please, answer sincerely.

Well, I guess...if push did come to shove and you had no other alternative because you didn't have much in savings, the situation will cause you to do something you probably would never have done...correct?

Boy ... I wish I knew the answer to that one. It would have saved me a lot of stress and trouble when I was actually in that situation. Of course, since I DIDN'T know the answer... I lost my house, my car and my dignity. It's been a bit of a struggle, but I've bounced back to ALMOST where I fell from. The goal is to surpass it ... and keep on truckin'.

You are definitely right. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sometimes not only do we not know the answer, but there is nothing that we can do. I am glad you were able to overcome that situation and are back on your feet.

I would not be able to come up with it.. I only have mylot to earn from. I would do my best on mylot but I get like 1 dollar a day, so that would not work. I'd email all my friends and try to get them all to purchase just one item from my cafepress store.. I tired that before did not work. I tried doing referals to a music agent company. Not sure what happened with that but that never worked either..... I would see if I could do community service to pay it off through the court system..... is all I could do... - DNatureofDTrain

I been trying to find ways to earn through the internet safely so far mylot is it. I still have my DNatureofDTrain Cafepress store, I am giving this real estate thing a try but I can find any referrals, and I am tired of looking through sites, most are against MLM sites. I am afraid my parents are going to sell the home they brought originally for me to my older sister, or a strange by Spring... so I am trying to come up with at least 360,000 then maybe I can pay it to them under a land contract over time for the house.. to get it into my name, so I can take some control over my life... I just hate the situation I been in. I do not have a drivers licence. I am always helping my family out, so no one wants me to work a paying job. So anything I am trying to earn through the internet is not only for myself, but to surprise my family in attempt to pay my parents back for all the money they been putting out to keep Grandpas old house (my home) and their own house on top of it... I know no one can help out with that, so but I am going to attempt to post 360,000 good discussions of I can... then hopefully over time I will make that quota.. but its hard to come up with that many fresh topics, if not.. I will bank what I do have, and hope... If I do lose my home, that I will be able to have enough to keep me off the streets should something happen to my family... Thanks for listening, I know where there is a will there is a way, and this is the reason I came to mylot.. to earn emergency money, to earn transporation money, which hopefully will help me towards an offline paying job, to save my home. Thanks All! Take Care. - DNatureofDTrain

Save Save Save always put money away and be preparedas much as poss for any hard times ahead. even get an extra part time job or something to tie u over while u sort things out there are always ways of getting through it.

Thank you, but what would you do in the event you didn't have enough saved and you needed $1,000.00 in two days or else you were going to be thrown out of your house? You are right, there are ways to prevent going into situations like these if you save and plan responsibly. But what if you were in the minority who didn't...then what would you do to get that money?
