I sometimes worry a lot about weather we will be able to eat in a week or two if I do not get a job soon as I find it hard to make money other wise as the internet is no working out do you also worry at times about bills and food .I worry even more about my baby as he needs food diaper ect which is even more expensive that my stuff.

I have worried about it before but things are usually ok for us, my daughter gets everything she needs before we get our stuff. Try cutting out the un necessary things - use cloth nappies instead of the disposable ones, then you wont have such an expense. I know this might sound cruel or mean & i don't want you to take it the wrong way but many people don't seem to think about their financial situation before they have children, then they bring kids in to the world & cant afford to have them. I am NOT against people having children but i think it's a little inconsiderate to the kids if they are born in to a family that cant afford to have them. I guess it also depends on whether you are single or not? There's no real point in trying to make a living online coz it's kinda hard, you really need to find a REAL job, even something that's just casual or part time to begin with coz at least there will be a reliable income. Maybe try making up a budget & sticking to it, that way you only spend what you set out to spend & everything can be paid :) Make arrangements with your bill companies to pay the bills over a few weekly - installmets, it's easier than having to come up with the lump sum in 1 go! Good luck!

I worry about how we are going to survive every day. We are not hurting for money right now but there is always that chance that something may happen and we will be struggling for money again. i always worry about paying the bills and buying food and whatever we need. I have a husband and a daughter I have to make sure is taken care of as wellas me and my dog. i worry about everything every day because something always happens to make you short of money. don't feel alone. just when we think we may have a dime, something happens and the money goes to something else.

Do you belive in God? If so rely upon God. God will provide every thing to you. God is ready and willing to help you. The only thing is you must ask God for the favour."Ask and you will be provided" is the promise given by Jesus. God's promises are not fake. Shed all your burdens upon him. He is sure to guard you and your child. All blessings to you sidoney.

Yes, I worry about money all the time. My husband switched jobs and we were 4 weeks without a paycheck. We are behind on everything we own. We spend about 35.00 a week on groceries,that I pay for out of my babysitting money. As of June 1st I wont be watching these kids because we are moving. I'm not sure how we will pay for groceries after that.
