Alright, its down to desperation. I need money! I have one part time job, and it pays about $500 a month. I have 3 paychecks left, before I leave for college. I have a car payment, and some other outstanding debt I have got to pay off before I go.

Oregon, where I live now, has the worst employment rate right now...so finding jobs is almost impossible. Since the end of the school year, I probably have filled out 15 applications at various places, but no one is even hiring!

Any internet sources that actually work? Anybody here need paper work done?! I am willing to do anything right now to make some extra money, I also have to pay for most of the trip to college, which is in texas..and the last thing I need to is use my credit card.

HELP! [pray]

my car payement is 190 a month. the loan for the car was 8100 :) i got a really good deal. kbb was like 11g.

my parents do, but i dont like asking for money. i am 19, if i could afford it, i'd have separate everything, ie insurance etc. i am a very independent person...just cant afford it lol.

bmw fanatic....why? you wanna help a brotha out or somethin? lol. my parents dont make a fraction of what yours do, i am not complaining, but if you had my shoes, you'd prolly be in shock when you have to work 40 hours a week to make $500 a month. my parents take care of my insurance, mostly anyway...thats about it. I cover everything else...with $500 a month.

i have no money! i never had a job, and i might look for one :).. My dad doesn't want me to get a job though, he finds it an embaresment seeing his son work at a mc donalds or what ever, so my moms trying to help me in at her hotel atleast, but thats only for 20 hours a week, im no full time!

I dont even know how much my insurance is.....? but its not like my mom put me on the bmw, i think she told me she put me on the mercedes 91, becuase its the cheapest, but family-pack lets you drive anyonei n the familys car. I never got the 3.0 discount or what ever.

You dont want to work at McDonalds anyways. Trust me. I worked there one summer and I felt like scum of the Earth for some reason. I mean if I had too again because it was the only job left, well I wouldnt actually.

insurance doesnt work that way. the cars and the drivers are on the policy, no one is really 'with one car'. then they calculate risks by age, and the value of the car...or something like that.

BMW_Fanatic, this is the first advice i'll give you that you should take.

Work at a circuit city or a best buy... they pay decent, the job is shitty, but you get awesome discounts.

My friend's home theater system is worth about $2,000 (not counting the tv, just audio + dvd). He paid about $690 for everything.

jszar, wish I had some leads for some quick money...then again, I might take them myself. But hang in there. I have to say though, I never had a car when I was an undergrad. I mooched off the guys who spent all their money on their car...lol.
