Yes-Its-Me, my family is my last option if I have no other choice. My parents are well off financially but I just hate the thought of having to ask them for money. I really want to do this on my own without my parent's help. My parent's have no idea that I have paid almost $150K towards my girlfriend's expenses, so I don't know how they will react to that. But if it comes down to it where I have no other options, I will have to bite the bullet and ask my parents to loan me the money. I do feel very grateful that I am fortunate enough to have that option if all else fails. But that was part of the reason I was depressed today...the thought of having to go to my parents for money just makes me feel like a failure in some ways. So that is why I came here to get some advice on how I could possibly get out of this debt on my own.
Listen and listen carefully... There is no shame at this point asking. Just ask for the 35k or 9k and do what you have to to get rid of the debt at all cost. Forget about pride but think strategy. If you have to be on your knees tomorrow begging for a loan from them then off you go. I understand what you are saying but this is the smartest move than borrowing money at a ridiculous rate.
Your family should be your last resort and at this point, you don't have any other options. Sometimes, you can't win the battle alone but need a small army. The army now is your parents.
