How do you support your family when you are broke?

oh,that's a hard question to answer.i think if i have no job,and no friends to resort to,no savings,then definitely i can give no economic support to my family.but i will try my best to find a job first,at this time,i think i need my family's support more,mental support.and i think with their support i will soon find a job and all things will be okay then.

Hi ssh123! That is a very difficult situation. I guess, I will not stop from trying until I find an opportunity where I could earn as long as it is an honest way. I don't think I will just give up because I know my family depends on me and I just don't think I will take that sitting down. But I just hope I will never get into such situation wherein I have nothing else to hope for. Take care and have a nice day.

It is a difficult question to answer.If the resources are exhausted,i can only give mental support.Mental support is stronger than any other support.I try my level best to overcome the situation faced by the family.

I still can remember clearly when I was eleven my father was unemployed then for some time. My brother, two years younger and I were in the same primary school and we had not paid school fee for over three months. When the headmaster came chasing for school fee in a harsh manner my brother got very frightened I then tried to hide my brother behind me. I told him we would settle the fees when my dad gave me the money. I told my brother not to give up. Even though we were in such a difficult situation we still ought to study hard for our better future.

In such situation I will approach my friends for financial support and then I will take care of myself not to get be trapped in such situation and will pay back the money after I possess the money to my friends.

A good question.In this society,our living express is very large.There is the danger of out of job .For me,If I'm out of job and my resources are exhausted and I don't have friends to help me,I think I just borrow money from my relatives.

I just cannot imagine such a situation. That is why elders always say save for the rainy day. If that is exhausted, one has to go out to work hard to earn bread and butter.

Well, that would be a rough place to be indeed. One I would not really want to experience that is for sure. I know for me though since I have been homeless, etc. in the past, there is always this thought in the back of my mind of it happening to me again. But I know I would find some way to keep things a float, like I have done in the past. Right now, I have a Storage unit and Condo full of stuff I could sell, and hope that would at least keep me going for a while.

I will encourage my family to struggle in love

My husband and I are both self-employed and have gone through many cycles of 'feast or famine' in regards to our income. When times have been 'tight' for us we cut bac on our spending and become resourceful shoppers. In many ways being short of funds has taught us invaluable life lessons about living within our means, financially and energetically. Often when money is flowing there is a tendency to spend as though the flow will never stop...at least that is something we did. Now we have learned to think and plan ahead more we are able to prepare for times when resources are more exhausted. In Canada there are provisions for families with low to zero income. Social services here pay for rent/mortgage, utilities, medication, fuel to travel to doctor's appointments and provide a food allowance. So even though they are considered a 'last resort' there are social safety nets that are a blessing for those in need. My girlfriends husband is a seasonal worker and they access the above system when he is unable to find work...so it may not help where you are...but that is how things work for us in Canada. Best regards, Raia

This seems like a very desparate situation. A situation that nobody would ever dream of being into. Some might think that in desparate situations, desparate measures should be taken into consideration. In my opinion, this shouldn't be the case. I think this would be the best time to see if miracles really do work. To support my family, I'll call onto God for help. Others might disagree with my answer but this is the only proven way that I know of. He has not failed His promise to me and my family yet and I know that He will never ever will fail us.
