Problems galore ...debtors' call,family needs ...everything that could only be solved with sufficient finances. You are in razor's edge. What will you do at this juncture . Go and hide yourself ... get drunk to forget the next day's unhappiness awaiting ...spend a whole night devoid of sleep ???

sukumar794, how are you doing? This is a good question, and I have only my answer. When I get stressed and feel that I can't take much more...I pray harder. I have lots of faith and things always seem to pan out for me when problems arise. I can just tell you of my experience...Nice discussion...take care...

I usually spend a night with no sleep then count my blessings and try to work out a realistic way to make things better. My family will often help out not with money because they haven't got any, but with good advice.

lol...get drunk. That never solves any problem. I would find solution to my problems and proceed to best implement my solutions. That is where I am at now. There is no use in hiding because fear will follow you where ever you go. But creating sufficient financial prosperity can be done, and is not always easy.

Run and hide and let my husband deal with it LOL No use running because they will chase and hunt you down so why no face up to it? its not going to be easy but I would feel better dealing with it than running away and hiding as it will always be on my mind.

I pray and then wait. Usually the problems resolve themselves. Call the companies I owe money to and make arrangements to pay $$$ a month that I can spare. If I have no money to spare now I will have some in the future. No need to worry about something that I cannot fix.

Hope things are fine with you :) I am not sure what I will do as I have not been in such a drastic situation before. The worst I have been through was $6 left in my bank account after paying for renovation works. I keep myself busy the next few days looking up my relatives. My dad was in hospital then. I hold on to 2 jobs, slogging from morning to night. There is no time for me to think of the unhappiness nor there is extra money for me to drown myself.

Hey s794, I probably would let my nerves get bad for a bit & worry but then I'd read a little & trust that God supplies my needs so just take it one day at a time. +'S :)

problems are common to 60% of humanbeings. tensions, agony, and sometimes heartbraking instances that took part . in my life i was not a paid employee but wage earner. I got three children. one daughter and two sons. i could efford to educate my daughter upto MCA and got married with a softwear engineer . my elder son was a BCAand secured a job in a private company.I am to got loans from different agencies and sources for a business to my son who was well experience in web designing and photoshop. it is common in every mans life such troubles . health and financial problems are more endangered things . indebtedness is a menacae which will keep oneawayfrom food and sleep. IN MY CASE i AM SIXTY NOW. i AM BEING NOW ENCIRCLED WITH HUGE DEBTS. mY THIRD CHILD IS A web designer and expert in photoshop . unfortunataely the business we started was closed due to losses, and we are due to repay huge amounts to the lendors. My son was jobless, and all trials and atttempts for job were not fruitfull for the last 7 months. If he was employed, we will get rid of the debts within a year. but his fate is not cooperating. His efficiency, performance, stamina were not yet recognised .His unemployment,incomeless life bringing me heavy tension, and so that I was effected with blood sugar at 340. I could not get even a treatment for my complaint.I will be relieved if my son could get a job. In my entire life I never met such a tragic situation, but at 60s I am to face all problems My health is notgood I have no habits of drinking,smoking or playing. I am very precarious about financial mattersbut involved in financial stringencies. Now my son wants to join in MAYA course but my purse is not permitting me.I could notfulfil his desire for education as I am financially unsound. I approached some people to finance for the education subject to refunding the amount after his employment .but of no use. In such condition also I am practicing yoga the only remidy to drove away mental tension .

Years, ago I was in this situation and discovered that the only way to deal with such things was to face my creditors and talk things through. We sorted out a plan that was acceptable to both of us. There was a lot of work for a long time before eventually I cleared the debts and I had to stop spending. It all started out because I discovered it was so easy to borrow money and it felt great just to go out and get the things that I wanted, but I didn't think it through how I was going to be paying it back, and I hardly noticed the debt creeping up on me until I was trying to pay back more than I was earning. Through speaking to my bank manager and other creditors, they realised that it was no good suing me for money I didn't have, so the best option was to help me out with a better repayment plan I could afford. :-)

Problem will be there for all, that's life. If u hide yourself or visit a pub will not solve the problem. I weep for myself, I will share my problem with my closest friend. Friend in need is a friend indeed. I think, if u share with others, ur problem will suppress to some extent. In some cases, if u share your problem with others, they may not show keen interest & they talk on different subject & finally u get bored. Pray to that almighty, definitely he will show the path. Everyday thank that almighty, for what he has given to you till date. That's it, rest will follow through. Thanks a lot
