Reply to comment by StorageGloomy9719 in Would it be a bad idea to take out $1,750 in student loans? by [deleted]

so your solution to pay your debt is to take another loan for more debt. what you need to do right now is pay the minimum on your credit card, get a job, and use all of the money towards paying the credit card off. no ipad until you pay off everything.

I use my credit card to get places. I have a $500 credit limit that is almost maxed out. If I don't pay my credit card bill I wont be able to get to work is what I am saying.

not sure where you live but there are options besides uber that are much cheaper. you're definitely in a tough place, but my thoughts are whatever got you into this mess will likely get you into a bigger mess with the loan.

It’s Ubers. I’ve found jobs and they fall through or the managers aren’t honest with me. Public transportation scares me tbh. I’m willing to wait to buy an iPad so that would reduce the loan to $750. That’s not a terrible amount of debt I feel. But I definitely do see your viewpoint.
