Maybe would reduce them to just paying the interest.

I'm not sure how exactly unemployment works either, so I wouldn't count on anything. Student loans and such, I'm pretty sure you could defer those if you become unemployed. I mean 2/3 of your emergency budget is student loan payments. I'd rather focus on actual survival like food and shelter first. Good luck with your Monday, my office recently did this around this time last month and it was not pleasant to see coworkers be informed they were no longer needed.Jim ~ mydebtblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831157334066115572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233623794741521754.post-90437718769835943542009-03-09T16:26:00.001-04:002009-03-09T16:26:00.001-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233623794741521754.post-17926272745079416232009-03-09T16:26:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:26:00.000-04:00Once you've paid off the balance of your credit ca...Once you've paid off the balance of your credit card and it reaches $0, it's paid off. You'd only have to make payments if you use your card again.<BR/><BR/>But do not close the account. Keep it open, especially if it's your oldest open account. Just cut the card up and keep tabs on your monthly statements to make sure everything is kosher.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381401838619604656noreply@blogger.com
