What would you do if you don't have money to pay a week's due bill?

Question

So, let's say, you only have $50 in your bank account, while the total of your bills is $350. You can borrow your friends' money, but you remembered you still owe them from the previous bills. You are forced to have an income of $300 in a week's time. What would you do? (Robbing a bank is not an option!)

OK, so the company agrees to extend your bills' due to next week. Question is, how do you earn $300 in two week's time?

Selling stuff, prostituting or drug dealing is not an option!

Answer 1

I'd find someone else to borrow from since I already owed one friend money.

I know you said we can't, but I'd also sell plasma to the Red Cross, pawn some jewelry, and possibly write a bad check to pay the bill. LOL If nothing else, writing the check would give me more time to figure out how to come up with the money.

Answer 2

You have to go to the people or institutions to whom you owe money and explain your difficulty. Come to an arrangement whereby you will gradually, but regularly, reduce the debt. People can be surprisingly helpful if you are honest and open about problems like this.

Next work out a budget for yourself in which your expenditure is appropriate to your income. At the moment you are spending too much, or not earning enough. Blancing the books is a good lesson for the rest of your life.

Answer 3

Is the bill going to run away? How about paying it when you can? This is not a good habit to get into . Here's a little tip. You have 2 clear choices assuming you want to pay your bills. 1st increases your income to be above your liabilities or decrease your Liabilities under your income! And if you really don't want to go into dept DO NOT vote Democrat !!!! You will have to get a second job just to pay for there tax hikes.

Answer 4

This sounds too precise to be a hypothetical question. My answer? Take your licks what ever they may be and suffer the consequences for not planning ahead. If you spend more than you have funds to pay for then you're going to have a few sleepless nights. Learn from it rather than perpetuate the cycle by continuing to borrow. Credit worthiness is Not measured by how much you have available in lines of credit to spend. It is measured by your ability to repay what you have charged or borrowed. Failure to repay your friends is often times worse than failing to pay your bills. You can always take the subway if your car is repossessed or move into a less expensive flat if you are evicted, but good friends are much more difficult to come by. You are doing yourself a greater disservice than them by lying to them. I don't care how you want to perceive it. I assure you that they think of it as being dishonest. I know I do when promises are not kept.

Answer 5

don't do what i usually do and put the bill in the drawer.

if you ring the company to whom you owe the $$$ just negotiate for an extra week to pay. they want their money and if it just takes an extra week they still get what is owed so they are happy.

Answer 6

It depends on what bill it is and when you are going to have the money for it. You can pay it late. I would call them and tell them that it is going to be late and when you plan on paying it. If you can pay it next week I would just pay it next week.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
