i'm all bummed out.

i can't find a job and i have no money.

do you think taking out a loan (for maybe $200) is a good idea? could someone tell me the legistics of doing this, as in, how much i'd be paying for taking the loan?

i'd appreciate some input.

Give blood, or semen. Your body is full of valuable fluids. It's just a matter of finding a buyer. Gay vampires?

Borrowing money when you have no prosepects for a means to pay it off is a *really* bad idea.

Banks only want to give loans to people who seem to be able to pay them back. That means not unemployed and broke.

here's an idea... try a temp service. the ones that hire the crackheads without doing backround checks. when you get to the job site they'll realize you're a decent person and since they are obviously looking for help, they will probably want to hire you right away...

i did this many times when i was younger and more desperate, and i will tell you with all honesty that it works. if you need a job and you don't have time to go through the application/waiting process, it works wink

He probably meant someplace like Check-N-Go, which is a really bad idea.

Most banks are not interested in loaning out such a small amount. The pay back time is too short and the amount too small to really make any money off of. You would have more luck with a larger loan, if you had a job. Since you don't bank loans are probably not going to work for you. And those payday advances are a horrible rip off (plus you have to have a job).

If you are a student, many universities offer 30-60 day loans for amounts around $200. with no interest. If you are not a student I would either beg your family for cash, or if you are really desperate get a cash payment at the welfare department. They have programs where they will give you cash if you are broke and in urgent need of money to pay for food, housing, or other such necesities.

Sorry for the long post. Hope things work out for you. I know it is stressful, but you'll pull through. smile

sell some stuff on ebay. once i sold a book i was going to throw in the trash for $67 on ebay. i am sure you can find some shit to sell. ask friends. just an idea.

i'd loan you the $200, but if i didn't get it back plus 20% interest in two weeks, i'd have to have both of your legs broken...plus you'd still owe me the money and a favor. use the ebay idea. wink

i found the best way to save money is to only liveon the essentuals, and well unless you can't work as its illigal

go get a job at Mc Donalds or something, sure its a shit job but at lest it gibves you the money to live and the means to find further employment,

there are jobs everywear, you ave to look and not worry about what it is you do for a liveing

thats what i do
