Does this sound familiar? I am talking not very much left for the month. Leaves me time to be on Mylot then. See there is a method to the madness..By the time my bills are paid I am broke beyond repair....I can't save a dime to save my life...I might have to get another job..

I do know what you mean. When my salary comes most of it go to bills and payments..Its so hard to get a job that pays a lot - or everything's just expensive these days I guess. Sometimes I even have to ask money from my boyfriend or mother, and I do think I need to get another job too.
Good luck to both of us!

I was told to always pay myself first, but that is very hard to do. Good luck to you too and thank you.

I know exactly how you feel. Money just seems to be flying out the door, and i dont even get to touch it. The kids are always asking for money, but i havent got much to give. I get sick and tired of saying i cant afford things. But, we have a roof over our heads, food in the cupboard, and lots of lov e around, and thats a lot more than some have.
Best wishes to you, feona

I know it is and when son helps out is a blessing .
and We have a brother to son in law living with us and when he works he helps with groceries only thing is he dont get to work that much with the temp. company he is with.
Am sure there is a reason we dont know about as to why no one has called her to work. Maybe now when school kids go back to work they will have spots to fill up.
hugs

It can get depressing. I can't believe no one has called her back. I will be praying for her and your whole family...You are already in my prayers....My son works nights and still lives with us and he helps us out with a few things. I don't want to take his money though...HUGS to all of you...

Hello Feona1962,
I understand the situation. Sometimes, it is not that we don't know how to manage our financial wisely. It is just not enough for everything. Things are getting expensive nowadays. I just complained to my husband just now that my baby needs more money every month compare to the expenses of both his parents!

You're right. I have enough to take care of my finances monthly but not much left over to even save right now. Babies are expensive. Thanks for your response.

Yes I also know what you mean, try to save money on groceries and electricity and that stuff. I know it can be hard to save a dime, but just see if you maybe can get a extra job. Like cleaning someone's house or babysitting children, just to earn you a little extra. Good luck

I understand how it is. Every time I say the word "money" something needs repairs or the refrigerator has to be replaced..LOL

no...it does not sound familiar cos i dont understand what are u saying....u are broke even before the end the month and you rely on some other things to make up the maoney to pay out your debts and clear of the negative balance...i guess its better u get another job so tht ur able to clear ur dues pretty soon....i jus pray for u tht somehow u get a decent job

By the end of the month I just have a little bit of money. When payday comes I pay all of my bills and there is just enough money left over to buy groceries and to put gas in my van. I don't get to go out much because I don't have the money to spend like at a movie, or buy anything extra..I don't need alot, I just need enough to get me through the month..I have a few things to pay off which I pay on every month and I am not in debt...In about 6 months I will have more money because my loans will be paid off. Sorry for the confusion..
