I am an exceptionally hard working clinical psychology doctoral student.  Asside from classes, studying, and working on my dissertation, I spend a great deal of my time volunteering in the community (domestic violence shelters, various children's charities, and an organization that helps adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses become active members of the community).  I am beyond financially stressed right now, my school made a huge error with my financial aid, and while I've managed to get the financial aid office to fix the problem... I won't see the financial benefit of that until my next disbursement in January.  By that time I will have been evicted from my apartment.  I am working 3 part-time jobs on top of going to school and am trying my best to fix this problem.... but I feel like I am drowning and I don't know what else to do.  If there is anyone who can help me... please, I would be eternally greatful!

Sorry about you being too old to join.  The new age for the Army Reserves (& Army active duty) is:  42 years old.  In addition they will give credit (constructive time) for the years served in military.  For example if one spent 4 years in military, they deduct 4 years off the age (or however many years one spent in).  If a person is 50 years old & had spent 8 years in military, then 50-8=42, the age that Army allows.

Also, they give age waivers under certain conditions.

I know this may not help you, but pass it on to any others that you know.

God bless you,

ekikaseven

You say you are a veteran.  Would you be able to join the Reserves (military)?  That way you would have monthly check, plus bonus for joining, school benefits, etc.

Hello,

I am veteran and am seeking some advice on how to handle my current situation.  I have been unemployed for approximately 6 months.  I was doing okay because of 401K contributions and a recently awarded disability case for a closed period of time.  I have reapplied for a reinstatement of the aforementioned disability which is a direct result of my loss of employment.  I

I have went to the local Social Services Department to apply for assistance.  My dilemma is I am single with no children and the only assistance Social Services will give me is food stamps and at some point I may receive cash assistance of $185 a month but they will not provide emergency funds for rent because I have no income and no one living in the household with me under the age of 18.  I owe $595.25 for the month of February and will probably get a warrant from the sherrif tomorrow, Feb 26th to vacate my apartment.  I have contacted the local resources for my area and they will only help if I have some the funds on hand.

I have a vehicle which is one way I make a couple of dollars by running errands, taking individuals to appts, etc but normally just enough to keep gas in the tank for the next trip.   I sell Avon but I do not make a lot of money because I am still building clientele.  I have also been trying to find legitimate "work from home jobs" but most of them want you to pay for some sort of funds to start up.  I am hoping that it will not take long for the money from Social Services to kick in; for Social Security to make a determination on my benefit reinstatement; and I also have an car accident settlement I am awaiting. 

In distress, need advice or help asap!!!!

Christina why don't you try taking a semester off and just work full time. I did that and it really helped. Before I had to start paying the school bills I was back in and I had paid down a lot of debt.
