How an Online Cash Advance Helped Me Clear My Debt
A few summers ago, I found myself in the most stressful position I have ever been in throughout my life. I always heard stories about financial debt and strain, but being a business major, I didn’t think it could ever happen to me. They teach you these things in business school – especially to never take out more debt than you will be able to pay off within three months. I thought I was an expert in my field, I thought I knew it all. Most importantly, I thought I was together enough to be responsible with my finances. Being in the position I was in took away all the accomplishments of being an adult that I had achieved for myself. I don’t really know where things went wrong – I got a little spend happy after tax season and the next thing I know, I had created a mini pool of debt for myself.
I was broke.
I needed money bad. I had gotten ahead of myself and ended up spending too much money and even money I didn’t have. I was behind on bills, and it was suffocating me. I’m not sure if it was the bills that bothered me or the number of bills coming in each day that did. Either way, it felt like there was a tight band around my chest, getting tighter with each passing day. Needless to say, it was hard to breathe.
I was in a bit of a bind with my credit.
Getting behind on bills and spending money I didn’t have only added on to the bind I was already in. My credit was maxed out and there was no way a bank would give a loan to a college student with a “fair” credit rating – regardless of the fact that I not only paid my bills on time, every time, but I had also maintained payments on a mortgage – which wasn’t a likely asset to have at my age. Conventional loans were not an option.
Everyone I knew was broke, too.
I brainstormed people I could call for help, but to no avail. Just about everyone was having some sort of financial or other difficulty in their life, and couldn’t offer any help, as much as they wanted to. The whole situation just seemed hopeless.
Online cash advance to the rescue!
I decided to do some research online on how to get cash quick and found out about something called an online cash advance. I had seen the brick-and-mortar versions of these businesses, but figured that I couldn’t get a cash advance because of my bad credit. After browsing some of the sites, I found out that these lenders don’t even do credit checks. I ended up meeting the minimum requirements and got the cash advance. My bank account was funded within the hour!
I put in one week of overtime the next week and my debt was gone! I was able to not only pay off my bills, but get ahead on some of them and even pay off some of the credit I had out. Finally, I could breathe again!
