I am a single mom of two and find it very difficult at times to survive. Especially right now when the economy is totally jacked up. For the past 8 years it has been just my 2 kids and me. They are 9 and 12 now. Seems like I just cant keep enough money in the bank. I work 3 jobs and get really frustrated at not being able to keep up with it all. I had family issues going on wher my mother sold the house we were living in out from under us and we were forced to move into an apartment. Not long after that my old Chevy finally gave out forcing me to buy another car. I got one 2 years old and a great car with very affordable payments but Im tired of juggling. I do all sorts of online communities to earn extra but we all know how they pay out. Small but its a pizza or walmart card every now and then. I just want to know how is it possible to make it and survive and STILL be able to save a little for emergencies or whatever. I have reached my limit and still see more hardships to come. any ideas or anyone else going through this kind of hardship. I guess I also want to know Im not alone with this issue. Maybe we can come up with tips, ideas and support for each other and get through this together and possibly make some new friends along the way.

You are definitely not alone. I had to give up my car to a family member because I could no longer afford payments. Things are starting to get better for me though. I've created a blog-like thing, the link is on my profile, that has a lot of ways to make money online. Maybe it will help you out. Good luck with everything and God bless

I too am struggling to earn some money online. It's definitely not easy. It would be a lot easier if I were an American. I have a lot of offers that can easily earn a hundred dollars a month if I were an American. If you're an American, I can make some arrangements and we can earn more online together. Just a thought.
Let me know if you are interested.

You are definitely not alone. I sold my car to help pay off our debts. Both my partner and I are living on welfare, he is disabled and I have been ill for 2 years. It makes life very hard and times are not going to get any easier. I try and make some money online but it is hard.
I know some people talk about doing lots of posts in a day but I can only manage 15 to 20 because I am so slow with my thinking. My intellect is fine I think but my mind is very fuzzy and thinking is hard like thinking through a fog. Still mylot is ok as an earner along with surveys which pay out a gift card occasionally.
