Right now, because we just purchased a new home and have some additonal expenses, money is pretty tight and we're living pay check to paycheck. Hopefully that'll stop in a couple of months.

Yeah we live paycheck to paycheck. We usually have about $20 left for the week tho. We make shure we can get the staples like milk eggs and bread for the week.

Right now we are, just moved to a new house, trying to find a job for myself, my fiancee's job has taken a dump the last few weeks-not much work. Totally depleted all our savings and stocks, it really sucks lol. But I know it's temporary, so trying not to stress too much over it.

Right now I would have to say yes. Most of the time we have a little money saved, but not as much as we should. There is so much that can go wrong.

Normally, yes, we live paycheck to paycheck. However, DH has just started a new job, where he'll be making about $1000 more a month, so I'm hoping that we'll have some extra cash to put away. We really need to save more. We both know that, but somehow, there just doesn't seem to be enough money to go around.

I have to at the moment. I was out of work for six months and now need to catch up with some bills. I'm hoping that by this time next year it's sorted and I can stop feeling as if I'm working for nothing.
