Debt Collection

i'm working in a debt collection industry which pays you commission only no base, i tell you, one cannot even take a loan and do something very meaningful cos of the worry of your next paycheck.

so im stuck here with no nothing to show off yet i have worked there 2yrs down, no investments, small savings that cant last a month in case of emergency... people in this field of work how do you manage? mind you the office is in mombasa road and i live in Kayole junction,:- (cheaper place i can afford)
