where to temporarily borrow $$$?

DJ_Northstar · #1 11-30-2006, 06:33 PM

So, my financial aid office messed up and they won't be able to have my tuition/housing money till the end of December, but I'm all out of ideas as to where I can borrow the money to pay for this month's rent. Regardless of the medium, they'd be paid back in full by the end of this month. Thinking of asking my sibling, any other ideas other than family/friends i.e. institutions that specialize in this?

Edit: and plz don't berate me about money management; bank account is frozen due to a fraud investigation

borrow from the fam. i had to do this once. student loans put my loan into collections even though i was still in school. i owed about $6,500 but it was a total sham. they said once i paid off my loan, i could get another one. it was retarded. i took out $2,500 from my bankroll and had to borrow 4k from my pops. then i got another loan from them for roughly 4k about a month later and repayed him.

it was such a stupid ordeal and so typical about how bureaucratic bullsht works

Why don't you ask the landlord if you can work something out?

And I must admit I laughed at "temporarily" borrow $$$.
You ever permanently borrow $$$?

Whatever shame/static you'll get from your family is probably a better deal than going to some temp loan place that will rape the hell out of you. If you're short now, after you pay them back plus interest, you may be short again.
