(Question) I'm sorry to hear that. Are you feeling stressed out about it?

(Providing Suggestions) Perhaps if you are unable to find another job to reduce the principal, you could try setting aside a certain amount of money each month to put towards the amount owed?

(Others) Sounds like you've learned an important lesson from this, and will work towards responsibly paying it off. I have faith in you!
### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an job crisis. The seeker says "I need to make more money to pay off my credit cards.".
sys : (Others) Hi there. How are you doing today? usr : I'm good. Getting cold outside. Temp dropping over 20 degrees. Brr sys : (Others) Yes, I know! It's supposed to snow this week where I am. So, I understand you are in need of someone to talk to. What's going on. usr : Oh no, I hate driving in the snow. Spun out one year- rather not drive in snow- at least when it's icy. usr : My interest rate hit another credit card. Have to pay $80 more a month now usr : Hoping to find more work so I can pay it off faster sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Ah, so if I understand you correctly, your interest rate has increased, so you need to find another job to pay it off? usr : yeah cuz it was a no interest rate card and that expired so it started charging interest. I knew it was coming but need to work more hours now. The interest I pay every month will go down as I pay more of the principal off. I just hate it sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear that. Are you feeling stressed out about it? usr : Yes and no. Cuz I know I will pay it off within 3 years at the most. Probably closer to two years. I just don't like to wait and want to pay it off sooner if possible sys : (Self-disclosure) I understand exactly how you feel. When I finished school, I wanted to pay off my student loans as soon as possible. sys : (Reflection of feelings) I'm glad to hear that you are not too stressed about it though. usr : Yeah it's easier said than done. Btw I heard Biden might forgive student loans! Yay! usr : Yeah cuz it bought a lot of items I needed so I'm happy I got them sys : (Others) I heard about Biden's plans as well! Luckily, I paid all of my debts already but I think it will be great for other people. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Perhaps if you are unable to find another job to reduce the principal, you could try setting aside a certain amount of money each month to put towards the amount owed? usr : maybe they will reimburse you on what you paid usr : I could if i really discipline myself to sys : (Providing Suggestions) It's just a thought. Alternatively, I'm not sure if you typically get money for birthdays and the winter holidays, but you could commit some of that amount towards your principal amount. usr : I get some but I spend the money on myself- like chocolate! usr : itll prob take me 2-3 years to pay it off. if i go too much into discrectionary money i feel deprived sys : (Reflection of feelings) I understand that also. There needs to be some sort of balance. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) However, it sounds like you are a smart person and will make sure to pay off the amount responsibly. Everything will be okay! usr : absolutely. the time will go by fast enough and it will be paid off. ill make sure not to run the credit cards so high next time sys : (Others) Sounds like you've learned an important lesson from this, and will work towards responsibly paying it off. I have faith in you! usr : thank ya! I think I'm fairly responsible. I like to have nice things and my credit card bill proves it lol
(Others) Just find the right balance between pleasure and responsibility and you will be just fine!

(Self-disclosure) Don't put yourself down! That is a really bad habit to get into when job hunting but i know how easy it is to do.

sys : (Question) Hello there, how are you feeling today? usr : I'm feeling really sad. I just found out that I was rejected from a job that I really wanted! sys : (Question) I am really sorry to hear that. It seems to be happening to a lot of people right now. Do you have anything on the back burner? usr : No. I've had a lot of interviews but no one seems to want to hire me :( sys : (Self-disclosure) I would not take it personally - I have been struggling to find work too. I think it's the pandemic. usr : Sorry to hear you've been struggling too! I think it's just frustrating because there seems to be lots of jobs out there, but I must be giving a bad impression during my interviews. sys : (Self-disclosure) Don't put yourself down! That is a really bad habit to get into when job hunting but i know how easy it is to do. usr : Interviews are so stressful, though! I can't stand the thought of needing to do more of them. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you contemplated trying temping agencies? They pay might not be great but it is enough to get you by whilst you find something that you really want to do. usr : That's a good idea. I hadn't really thought of that. sys : (Self-disclosure) I've done a fair bit of it before ... there are good and bad aspects. You get to go to a lot of different places but it's also difficult to make friends and get settled. usr : That does sound hard for me. I'm really shy around new people. sys : (Information) Me too. But the upside is you can pretty much choose your own hours usr : How did you handle having to work with new people all of the time? sys : (Self-disclosure) To be honest it was not all that easy. I tended to keep my head down a lot and just smile vaguely when someone made eye contact. usr : That sounds hard. I don't know if I can do that. It feels like I'll never get a job. sys : (Providing Suggestions) What about something that involves less physical contact? There's always gig work online. usr : I wouldn't know where to start with that. I feel like m ost "online" jobs are probably scams. sys : (Providing Suggestions) I work on Amazon Mechanical Turk - if you're diligent you can make a fair few bucks there. Not sure it's a living wage though but you could try it usr : I've heard of that. Thanks, maybe I'll check it out. sys : (Others) Give it a go ..you've nothing to lose but your self respect :P sys : (Others) On that note I hope I have been able to be of some help to you today! usr : You have, thanks for listening and for the advice! sys : (Others) You're most welcome and I hope that everything picks up for you again soon! usr : Thanks! Have a nice day :)
(Information) you too! (can you quit first, I can't from this end :P)
