Are you barely Scraping By

[koolkidsmom]

 each month or do you have plenty of money to pay everything?

[Leelee1008]

scraping by honestly. we live with family, have for a while. Our car is broke down more then on the road and DH is at a dead end job that pays horrible. I need to find a job but transportation is an issue. SIGH

Things are really rough right now

I am able to pay my rent and bills for the first time on my own thanks to a h.h.a. job I have with a wealthy elderly woman but heres the catch, I work 84 hours a week and its killing me. I start Monday morning and dont get out till Thursday night. So i only see my 3 year old on the weekends and lately Im feeling so sick from working and my back gets hurt often from lifting the patient. Btw I am preggers and my morning sickness is not helping, but I really am afraid to let this job go. :-(

I have money to pay everything but no extra because of lawyer fees for my divorce.

[ArmyWifey0412]

Yeah, what she said...

Hey if ur dad needs to get rid of a little extra, give him my e-mail! ;-p

Quoting koolkidsmom:

 My mom used to help me some even tho she was just on SS she didn't have many expenses.  she's gone now and i  have nobody to kick in money even for emergencies.  You are really fortunate.

Quoting midnghtsprnkle:

we do live paycheck to pay check, sometimes we struggle, like within the past year we had to get a washer/ dryer, and a new fridge because they all went...

I am fortunate though, my father sends me checks out of blue, every so often, needless to say my dad is set for life, and sometimes just needs to get rid of money (has to do with, how much he allowed to have in his accounts at one time), so I will get an email,I sent you a check ,watch for it in the mail..Thankfully its usually atleast $1000, that helps so much, or like, he offered to pay for the oldest's  senior portraits..

 i have enough, but not scraping buy

[Rushn311]

I thought I answered this post. Hubby makes good money but his good money comes from overtime and that's when we are doing good...however when he doesn't have overtime we barely can pay ALL bills. so we are always playing catch up. I still feel fortunate and happy with what we have.
