So in a week I will be 17. My life is really great right now :) The only problem is..is that I have No Job & No Money. My parents have been helping me pay for things I want and stuff but I just want my own money. Ive probaley applied over 20 places for jobs in the past year; nothing is working. A few months ago I thought of asking my parents to take out a loan for myself..and once i FINALLY get a job i would pay all the money back. I would want to take out a loan for about $3,000. I need this much because, I am going to 2 proms, Im going to Florida with my boyfriend soon and I need money just all around to do things. Is it possible for me to take out a loan like this? Or would you need like credit or soemthing? I dont really know how it works. I just need money ALOT of it! What can I say to my parents to make them get it for me. Please im desperate!!

MDC09 answered Sunday March 23 2008, 3:38 pm: It is impossible to take out alone until the age of 18 and if you have no credit you will probably have to have your parents or grandparents co-sign for you since you probably have no credit built up. I suggest you keep applying for jobs. If you bought dress up, and seem very professional getting a job will be a lot easier. Also, be consistent. If you turn in an application call in a few days later and ask if a manager has had time to review it and possibly schedule an interview. [ MDC09's advice column | Ask MDC09 A Question ]
