The bills are piling up and it seems that you are falling down the hole of debt. You tried to cancel credit cards, you tried to get a second job. You tried to sell things on craigslist and did almost everything under the sun. However, if there is one thing that you might need to look at is yourself. Maybe you need to change your own spending habits, which seems to be the main thing keeping you down. Sure, you might get rid of old books and clothes, but you just run right out to the nearest store and replace the old stuff with new things. If you happen to fly for business, you decide to be in the top classes to wine and dine with everyone important. While it was costing hundreds more to sit in that part of the plan, rather than coach, but you just want to fly with style. This is what causing you to go into debt, because you want to be very fancy or always get everything that is top of the line.
The first thing you can easily do is just cancel all credit cards except for one or two. While you have maybe taken a few to the scissors, if you limit the number of cards that you have, then the temptation will decrease by a lot. With the credit cards you do have, I would recommend you to place it in a bowl of water and freeze it. Just one debt card will be able to get you through the day. With the credit cards literally on ice, you will need a lot of sheer determination to use the cards.
The second thing you can do is change the places that you eat. While fast food is not the best option in the world when it comes to your heath, but there are a lot of deals being offered to save you money. You can get a giant sandwich at most places for about five or six dollars. If you happen to be a small eater, you can eat half of the sandwich for lunch and use the rest for a quick dinner. The use of left over food will also save you a lot of money. The biggest thing that causes people to spend money is on clothes. Just look in the bargain bins or perhaps shop for second hand clothes. There are a lot of places now that you can get a very cool set of clothes without hurting your wallet at all.
