I know. Obviously no know like debt. Push yourself te get your bills out of the way. It's going to be fine, alot of people have them. Take that as a bit of comfort, your not the only one.

Maybe not as far as debt, but dh lost his job a long time ago-Now he has another job that pays a lot less than his previous job-we're not making ends meet. I am trying to start my own business, but it hasn't taken off the ground yet. We are struggling just to pay the rent.

I think you need to live a simple life and stop buying unnecessary things anymore. In this way, you are going to save some money and clear your debts soon. You see, I am a student, my parents give me less than 150 dollars every mouth to live through. And I take two tutorial jobs. Only in this way, I save almost 1000 dollars each semester! So manage you money. Even though you earn little you can save some money. Start today, it is not too late. And believe that you will be rich oneday! Trust yourself! In addition, I think the simpler the life is,the happier I always feel. Good luck with you!

I know you have probably heard this before, but I know exactly what you are going through. My husband's boss keeps on cutting back on his hours and cheats him out of pay. As a result we are behind on our bills. I am hoping to get money soon so I can start paying off my one credit card bill. Other than that I have all the same bills as everyone else and cannot pay them on time. I do not work because of the economy. I am trying to make money so I can help my husband out. I will be attending grad school online and my husband already attends an online university (the financial aid money helps us pay for our necessities). I have also been depressed and am trying to work hard in order to think of ways to pay my bills. I have some craft projects that I want to sell and am hoping to launch them soon. If you can try to keep yourself busy and find a craft or hobby that makes you happy the depression will soon go away. Please add me as a friend and I will give you some cheap crafts that you make and sell.

That is just normal to feel low and depressed if you are really short of money. But it shouln't take long. Because nothing will happen if you continue being depressed, because sometimes our mind dictates what our body will do. So it woul be better if we try to think of ways on how to pay our debts and how to earn more money aside fromt the wage that you are receiving from your work. I think that is why we are here in mylot, aside from making friends, participating in discussions, we can also earn here and we can get ideas here in mylot where we can earn more.

Yeah, money nowadays becomes a big problem for most of the people and i could proudly say that i am one of those people who had a problem with money. And yes it's not happy having troubles with money. And i would like to share just a bit of the money problems that ive been through and how i am coping out now, after i graduated from college i didnt got a job right away. ive been a bum for 3 years plus i have a baby without a father. so my mother was the one who supports me and my daughter. I got a job after 3 years but it stayed until 3months only because i believe the company couldnt pay more people. So ive been a bum again. So i felt low, i felt deprived. and most of the time im jealous to the people around me that has work and could buy everything they want for themselves as well as for their children. I was really embarrass with the people around me especially to my mother and daughter. So what i just did, i pray.. i pray a lot. and one time there's this website that is looking for a nanny in london, i applied and i thought it was the right job for me. the girl contacted me through email and she's been saying lots of benefits that i could receive from her, but i need to shoulder 100pounds that i will send through western union, and that 100 goes down to 50 because i was just borrowing that money from a friend, and unfortunately that was a scam. I was scammed and still has debt. But what i did i still pray and pray and pray. And on time i found an online site that offers job in switzerland as an au pair, i applied but i dont believe it anymore. i was waiting for the day that the agency will ask money and will say i scammed you or something. I am not expecting but i am hoping. Until I had my first interview, second and the third and final. and i received one day an email saying that i was chosen by the family. i was happy but still i didnt blieve it. until i had my medical in which the family paid for it. Then i got my visa, but i still dont believe it. Then the day came that ill be receiving the e-ticket, i still dont believe it but i already bought some stuffs. When were on our way to the airport i was actually waiting for the guard or the attendants to grap me and said i am from an illegal recruiter or something. But now, I am here in switzerland already working with the most generous host family ever. And now, i am starting not to problem money but im already keeping money for the future of my daughter. Maybe you are asking whats the relevance of my situation to your situation. It's like this, now maybe youre experiencing lots of problems towards money. and i believe through that money problem you are now learning. learning to live a simple life.DO no buy things that you dont need. Its really like that, before you buy you have to think if you really need this or you just want it.And if its just wants, and youre not yet contented and still want to buy that, think of the disadvantages of buying it. Spend wisely. And most of all pray a lot, pray to HIM that hopefully you surpass all the trials youve been going through. Because you will never know, 1 day if HE thinks it's the right time, He will give it to you. As what He did to me.We may even plan a lot of things but He has the last word. SO trust and believe in Him.
