AAAAAHHHHHH! I'm going crazy! I just started up my own audio engineering business last week. I personally don't make any money yet, as I'm trying to just pay off the equipment. I've kept my day job in order to pay rent, utilities, food, etc..... Trying to do both at once is stressing me out BIG TIME! Anyone have any advice on how to survive through this start up period?

I have picked up a rudimentary knowledge of the business world from reading the business section in the newspaper regularly, and I'm taking night school business classes so I can better understand my money. In the meantime, how can I make sense of how to allocate the portion of my paycheck I withold? The terminology and my lack of investing experience make this intimidating. I allocate at 5% biweekly. I am 25 years old.

Either nationally (mail order) or locally (in the VA or DC area).

Something like that Direct Buy that they advertise on TV, though I'm looking for a legit business, not a scam.

Why do Americans allow themselves to owe so much money to credit card companies, other people, banks, etc. etc.? I, myself, cannot sleep knowing I owe money to someone, yet to most people, it doesn't bother them at all? Why do you need to have the fancy toy NOW, when you can wait a few months and actually earn the money to be able to pay for it off completely (obviously, I'm not including houses, cars, or education in the equation because most people can't pay for those things outright). Do you really need that $500 wardrobe, $1000 jewelry, $1400 TV or $30,000 SUV?
