Business & Finance - 17 September 2006

Ok, I'm 24 years old. I've never had a credit card, by choice. I've been trying to keep my debt down so that when I'm married and start a family we won't be drowning in debt. I've made it fine until now.

I'm in a position where I need at least $300 (preferably more) FAST. I have no one who I can turn to and ask for the money. And it's for rent, so obviously you can see that it's important. I have a job but I don't start it for a couple of days. So I know I won't get my first check in time to cover these expenses.

Basically I'm brainstorming how I can come up with this money in the way that will cause the least financial trouble down the road. The only ideas I have come up with are to either:

a) use a credit card, or
b) payday loan.

I am scared of payday loans, even though I have friends who have gotten then and said it wasn't that bad. I'm also scared of credit though, because I'm not an expert in it. And I'm not sure how it would work if I charged $300 so soon.

I have the opportunity to get a $10,000 consolidation loan to pay off all my cards ($6,000) but I'm not sure that's a good idea. I would like to raise my credit score to make a major purchase.

I joined, and got really confused by all the "offers"....Do you have to go through an hour of them to qualify for the earnings? I spent an hour or more on one!
