How are we going to survive?

[itsokmomshere]

Well this morning my hubby informed me that he has used up his unemployment.  So we are screwed!!  We were doing our own thing fir thanksgiving but we arent even going to have one because we have no money.  We have rent to pay on the first and we cant pay it we have no money.  We have yet  to talk to our landlord about this.  We cant move to a cheaper place because we have no money for that.  I started to xmas shop for the kids in October when we had some extra money ans was able to buy each kids 2 things.  Brad told me to just hold off on the rest because this friday (11/21) we were going to get another check and would just buy them the rest of their stuff.  Well now we cant buy them anything because we have no money.  When is this going to end?....when will one of he billion jobs he applied at call him already?  How are we going to pay for everything?  We have no where to go and no where to turn.  Ill finish this later..........

Continued... 12/21

I am glad to say that everything is working out just fine.  We were able to buy them each some toys for xmas.  Not as much as we wanted to or not the things they really wanted but next year will be better.  Come July Brad will be getting paid salary and we will begin to start saving for the things we want most... Our own house, and a new car for me and i dont know what for him.  Nothing brand new just something that doesnt break down :)

Try applying for an extension.  My daughter did and got two extentions with little to no problem. 

AND craigslist.com  is a very good resource for job hunting in your local area.

Try applying for a extension my dad just had to do that he was layed of in june and has not found a job yet and he just filed and got approevd.  Cant hurt to try.

Have your hubby go to a temp agency it is not a permanent job but atleast it would be something and sometimes if they prove themselves they get hired on permenant.  

Have you applied for Food Stamps or Cash assistance if not I would definetely check into that

Good Luck

Just thought of another thing you could check into if you do not recieve it WIC (women infant Child)  They give you coupons for milk, cheese, eggs, juice, peanut butter, cereal
