I mean lower income as in under 40k.

My money is bad right now and these credit cards are killing me, I pay 250 a month.

I'm wondering if I can just let them default, fukk em.

I have a car that I credited, credit score is pretty good

But my income is pretty bad

So outside of a place and a car do I really need credit?

And it's gonna take a while for my money to get right

I need new training in a new field, or a business idea and that's gonna take at least 2 years probably.

So I'm saying I'm probably gonna be down in the gutter for a while, can I just let this shyt sink?

Most you cats are doing much better than me, so you may be biased.

NO. you have your car if you can make payments on time, that should be enough to maintain a decent score while you ride out your rough patch. DO NOT DEFAULT!!!..

What is you total credit card debt?

Probably not the best idea to take financial advice from a web forum, but I would stay away from credit cards unless you are extremely financially prudent.

If you can't pay for it in cash, then you save up until you are able to do so. It's better to be debt free in the long run and it won't hurt your creditworthiness - defaulting will.

Ok Not bad. What is your credit limit? ie the available limit on those accounts.


Also, you can easily make that up this holiday season. If you got extra time on your hand, lots of places hire holiday help, You could make at least half of that if not more before the end of the year if you get out there and hustle.

YEA, DO NOT DEFAULT. It will fukk up your credit score.

Cut then shyts up and just pay em what you owe up, as long as you keep making at least the minimum payment you're fine.
