    Do you have any suggestions about the online surveys?I have tried a few but they always want me to purchase something in order to earn money.There was this one survey thing were I have to apply for a bunch of things in order to get paid.So do you know what surveys pay for just my thoughts without me having to pay for anything?I could use some extra dollars.I have tried to earn some money other ways as I have said, without much success.Thanks, everyone for your thoughts!

    you should never have to pay for surveys up front..surveys are always free...companies pay you to do them..
    just put make money doing surveys in goggle..and weed out the ones that ask for money to get them..there are a lot of sites people put up for you to sign up to a lot of companies..there are a lot..i am signed up to at least 300 or more lol..

    i know this may not mean much but i will keep you in my thoughts that you get outta this hole you are in. (((HUGS)))

      I am still trying to figure out which surveys to take though.I don't know where to look for surveys that pay.....That actually pay...Do you have any suggestions?

      And thanks for your kind words!My birthday is today and it means a lot to just have some kind words and good advice today.I have the attitude that today is the first day of the rest of my life and I think now that I have temporarily put aside the debts I will be ok.I could always use the money though because the debt isn't going away I am just choosing to straighten out my priorties and the payday loans are just going to have to wait whether they like it or not.But thanks for the hugs!!!!!

        http://us.lightspeedpanel.com is one that pays but you do surveys for points and turn them into cash. I just got a check for $10. It's FREE! Plus every survey that you complete you will entered into their drawing. Check it out and let me know how you made out.

                Well, it's to early to tell yet how good things will get since I gave up on paying off the payday loans.But so far this month I have been able to pay all the primary bills relatively on time and have not suffered to much from cash shortage.I even was able to do some light Christmas shopping.Not paying those loans really freed up my funds.I have been getting daily phone calls from them though.But they are just going to have to wait until I can make arrangements with them.I have changed banks and switched my SSI benefits to that bank as well.So as long as I don't borrow any more money the worst thing to happen to me is I will have a very serious delinquent debt with the payday loans and most likely will be entered into Check Systems and Tele-Check which will make my checks worthless and my ability to open any new accounts at other banks will be gone.But that shouldn't matter as long as I maintain a good standing with my new bank.I tried to avoid this from happening and looked everywhere for help but in the end the only way out of this mess was to do what I did.

                Thanks for asking!!!!!!

                  Well I'm glad you are able to pay your primary bills. I know that you had to make a big choice. That was the only thing you could do right now. I would suggest that when they call you, that you make some kind of payment arrangements (like $5.00 a month). This way they will stay off your back and you have the chance to fix your credit. You don't want to make the payment more than you can afford or else you will be stuck in the same situation. I hope you have a great holiday and keep your head up
                  Don't forget to check out the survey site : http://us.lightspeedpanel.com/
                  Let me know how ya made out!
