Need Frugal Living Advice The Wall 10-24-2006
Okay, I have had to face the reality that I'm broke. No only broke,
but really really broke. So, it's time for some serious action and
I am looking for some advice. So far I have:

Cut up all but one credit card.

Sold my motorcycle (that one hurt) - craiglist

Sold my ex-fiance's engagement ring - craigslist

Divested myself of my timeshare - timesharerelief.com

And I know this sounds horrible, but I am thinking of getting rid of
my dog. Dogs are expensive. She's a collie mix and eats a lot. My
cousin has offered to take her, but he's out of state. Should a man
have to give up his bike and his dog in the same month?

Anyway, what else do people suggest? Should I get a home equity loan to
pay off my credit cards? That sounds practical, but someone just told
me that they read an article saying that was bad. Why? Any thoughts?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
