Put it on credit. That's what we're supposed to be doing for the things we can't afford, right?

All the credit is already maxed out from food being too much and wages not going up.

Maybe get a new 35% apr credit card? Probably have too many to get approved for another... luckily, because one more minimum monthly would break that camels back.

And if you're not bankrupt after that, it's time for ~~payday loans~~ cash advance/earned wage loans/early wage/payroll advances/whatever else they're calling themselves now to skirt regulations!

If you are bankrupt it can just reset, right? Just get more cards after the bankruptcy... everything will be fine!!
