The Professional?

“One more face lift on this one and she’ll have a beard.”

I aspire to be Patsy.

Sadly, Ab Fab is also responsible for cursing us with the pathetic attempt to recreate an American version, “High Society.” But if you’re not going to commit to well written jokes about drugs and sex then it’s going to be crap.

I'm always surprised when people suggest a loan to pay off credit card debt. You're not doing anything with the debt; you're just shifting it somewhere else. So taking out a loan won't help at all.

You can contact your creditors and ask them to lower the interest rate, but the only thing that will get rid of this is paying it off painfully and slowly or by declaring bankruptcy. It sounds like your credit is already shot to hell anyway so bankruptcy isn't going to make it that much worse anyway.

Moving forward, you have to think of yourself as middle class and live that way. Median income in San Francisco is $55K/year so you're just above that. And that's probably much lower than what you actually need to make to feel comfortable living in SF. So I wouldn't say you're close to having "good money" for SF. After you're debt free, if you want to put towards retirement and have an emergency fund then you'll actually have to live as if you're lower middle class.
