yeah my name is stupid
I am 21 and I have no money. I still live with my parents but I would like to go to school this fall and move out. I have 2 years completed at a community college and I am ready to move on...but I have no idea how to pay for it.
I had a job from the time I was 17 until last month...so about 4 years. They laid everybody off except about 2 people so it is not my fault in any way.
I got hurt in the fall and have a lot of medical bills that my insurance wouldn't cover. I have not been able to pay them yet because of losing my job. I am about to start getting about 250 a week from unemployment so that will help a little.
I also have credit card debt, between credit cards and medical bills I am around 3500 in debt. Very hard to pay off. I also need a car, I was thinking a car for about 6000 should last me until I get out of school. My current one is in its final days.
Basically I need about a 10,000 dollar loan outside of the money I will need for school. What options are available for me? I am working on my FAFSA thing but it won't be enough money.
I tried getting a unsecured loan for that 10,000 but I was denied by my bank that I have been with for 3 years.
How do people with no money pay for college? If I could get a cosigner on that 10,000 dollar loan I could pay it but once I started school my unemployment would stop and I would be SOL. I have no problem on taking debt that I need to pay back once I finish school, I will finish and I am in a good field. I just can't pay now.
Sorry this is fragmented and confusing but I have a lot of information to get out and I don't know of a good way to do this because I am a poor writer.
