Ami, You've been given tons of advice with nothing but "I can't" for answers. I'm beginning to believe you're confusing can't with won't There is no reason you can't move back to Jersey and start over. You already set up a donation site asking for $60,000 to completely pay off your debt. I'd bet that asking for a smaller amount, after moving in with family, to help you get re-established, not debt-free, would go over far better.
I have to say though, with the "I can't/won't" attitude, even if you get the $60,000 you'll probably still be neck deep in it.
For fucks sake, I'd be willing (and I'll bet many here would) to chip in for a bus ticket to get you back to Jersey. But, no way in hell I'll give to someone who want out of debt on the backs of other and is unwilling to to anything to help herself.
You didn't give me any advice. You told me something I already know. I already know I can go to New Jersey and not live in my car. I'm used to living in my car. If I had to live in it for the rest of my life, I guess I could manage. What you are suggesting, at minimum, adds years to finishing school and forfeiting thousands of dollars in earned credits. I already looked into what transfers to Edison, and WPU, and KU, and CNJ, and NJCU. Mostly just my prereq credits. Some of my math credits but not my physics and chemistry credits. It is a reset of half of the classes I've taken on top of waiting a year for residency, on top of years to save up to go back. Your college credits are only good for a few years. I'd have to start all over and I would *STILL* have the debt. You are oversimplifying the problem and trying to make it much worse.
There are people that raise tens of thousands of dollars for plastic surgery or for college tuition. I don't know why it bothers you so much that I just want to get my life back on track and get back in school without losing so much hard work that took me over 30 years. If you don't want to donate, that is fine, but you do not have to put me down as a fellow human being. I'm trying to accomplish a goal to finish my education quickly, requalify for financial aid, and complete school with less debt. There are teenagers raising just as much money to get their tuitions paid for. Why does it bother you so much that I'm 34 and just trying to finish what I've started?
I'm using the site to try to make my already difficult life a little less difficult and get back on track to achieving a lifelong goal. I'm sorry that you cannot empathize with that. But, as a fellow human being who cares about you, please do not attack me.
