February always messes up my finances, especially since we're coming out of the slow time at work. Then there's the issue of having been sick and missing too much work due to the sinus infection that lasted a month. I also had to have groceries delivered because I have no car and the local bus system removed the route by my apartment. The final kicker is that my rent is due 4 days before my next paycheck. So, I'm kind of screwed because my rental insurance and utilities payments are set to go through on Monday and Tuesday. Of course, because of my pride and not previously wanting to ask for help I did the stupid thing and got a short term loan when I desperate a month ago. Now, the payment for that loan is going through.
Honestly, I think I am still battling the depression from losing my sister and my brother in such short time, and recently I lost my mother-in-law too. All that was after losing my cat, who was my baby for 11 years.
So, I have no idea how I am going to pay my rent. I really don't want to pay late because I don't know what the new apartment managers are like. The previous managers were okay. I payed late once and payed the late fee, and everything was fine. The management company changed a year ago, and I have been afraid to take chances with them. The thing that worries me is that in Ohio landlords can evict for being late with rent once, even late by one day. Many landlords don't do it, but I moved from my previous apartment because they learned about this and told us we would be evicted for being late.
I thought about starting a Go Fund Me page to get help, but I am horrible at writing it up and sharing with the right people and places.
Update: Well, crap! It takes 2 to 5 days to get funds via Go Fund Me. That won't be any help.
Could anyone help me with this? Setting up a Go Fund Me I mean.
Seriously, I am capable of paying back people in a couple weeks (On April 4th or 5th), if people wanted to be payed back. I just don't want to fall into the borrowing money trap with fees and interest.
If anyone can help, here's my PayPal link.
