With my current financial burden, I was totally stressed out. I have to face a couple of debts recently, as I previously mentioned on my discussions. I need to make some substantial money to bail me out. Today, after I had my oil change, there is a couple of items I needed to take care as soon as possible too, and that makes me worried also. The total cost for a timing belt package probably around $450 or more. Gosh, I just need to think a better way to make more money to have my car fixed first.

cars are such necessary evils. they cost an arm and a leg to get fixed but in this day and age we need them. i know what you mean, my hubby lost his job in august and hasnt been able to find another one so we are financially in a bind too and now that christmas is coming, that is very stressful too.

I am sorry to hear that. It is aweful when cars start acting up, they can really make our already rocky financial situation even worse. Do you have anything you can place on Ebay to sell that might bring in some cash? You could also try selling books on Half.com. Maybe take some nice clothes that you have that don't fit you and take them to a consignment shop, or maybe sell some gold jewelry that you never wear to one of these places looking to buy gold. Or you could answer a million discussions here on mylot. Although that is way easier said than done.

financil stress and money worries are a fairy universal human experience but they can cause stomcah problems.an increase in digestive symtoms can be a wake up call to engage in little extra self care.bill paying can be stressful especially when you have to pick and choose what get paid when there is not enough money to go around.getting caught up feeling of resentment for our creaditor is not helpful.i am in the habit of blessing checks as write them.i also bless the payment envelopes as i drop them in the mailbix.i truely am grateful whenevrful whenever i have the mean to support.for me it is really about understanding that money is energy.it has its come and go flues.bless ur money as it leaves ur hands open to receive it when it returns

hi clorissa 123 why not check the stores for seasonal help hiring as they will be doing that soon and you could pick up the money you need to bail out of debt.Is there any way you could get a small loan from your bank?

Sorry to hear about your financial burdens and I hope that you do get it fixed soon. With a timing belt you don't want to go and mess around with it for too long as it will cause other damage to other parts of your vehicle and will be more of a substantial cost to you. Is there anyone that can help you out for a few extra bucks to get this fixed? If you can't get your vehicle fixed soon I would suggest parking it until you can get the money to fix it. Is there anyone that you know that can help you change it for you? Throw them a couple bucks for doing it. This will also cut down on labor costs to you.

Wow, that's too bad. I hate car-related expenses, because they seem to pop up at about the WORST times, don't they? I don't really have any money-making ideas for you, because I'm sure you're all tied up with everything you're already doing. One thing that I'm doing, though, is working part-time seasonally at Macy's - early morning. It's definitely helping me rake in some extra money (in order to pay my credit card off once and for all!) and because it's seasonally, it's only a 3 month commitment. *shrugs*.

That's true, financial burden really makes you go crazy... as i experience it too, we still have to pay our house monthlya amortization, need to pay my childres vaccine monthly.. and plus the other expenses that need to be attended. But that's life, we need to work in order to live!
In order to come up with a little extra money, i sell my old stuff over the net just like a garage sale.. and it work.. it really work! you just got to try it...
