Now for the reality check - this is 2011.
I don't see any reference that $20,000 was needed, no sum was mentioned, but that "an advance" would help the indebtedness.
And the big trick in our neck of the woods is getting an interview for a first job, even with motivation, let alone a second, so please tell me in more detail how it is so easy to earn $20,00, because I'm sure a lot of people, including me, would love to know. It's certainly obvious I'm doing things wrongly.
And I don't have many "luxury items" to give up, frankly - which I note you cannily avoid specifying.
And, finally, your blanket assumption that the OT would be unable to resist using this mythically easily acquired cash to vacation or buy a new car, rather than pay off debts is, to me, offensive.
