My fiance and I just had a 2 month old premature son on October 31st 2009. We always feel like we are at the last penny when it comes to gas, or food for us, clothes for our son and diapers. But somehow we always make it. I think its because of love. I have started to do a few online sites that have brought in a tremendous amount of money and they actually work out perfect for me. if you want the sites please email me anytime and I will respond anytime for you.

No, I don't anymore, but I used to feel like this, a few years ago when I was younger. Then I decided that I could not continue like that and drastically changed my habits, started keeping a spending journal, and so on. And now I am doing much better!
So I can recommend that to those of you who have this problem.

That's the story of my life. lol. If something unexpected comes up then i have to do away with something, pay a bill late, or borrow against a credit card. I hate living this way.

Feel like it? I am living check to check.. Sometimes My next weeks check is already gone. Or I can't spend it because I need it and the following weeks check to pay the mortgage and cable bill, then I have to give up the next check for the car payment and car insurance.
I think the only way I make it on buying some of the extras I need is through the online money I have been making to- Zazzle is my best payer. But I love Pinecone Research and BigCrumbs, and I made payout in mylot this month too. Woo hoo.

I am really interested in Zazzle... but tell me, do you need to be very creative to do well on Zazzle? I have no background in design or anything but always did it as a hobby. Do I have a chance on Zazzle?

I hate living check to check. I started working when I was 16 and now I am 24 I never lived check to check until now. I use to have real good credit and other ways of getting little money here and there. Now it seems like I am struggling and it wont stop. To make it worse my office moved 45mins north so now I am paying tolls and more gas on top of that each week. I just want to plan vacations and have a good time before I get older but who knows if that will ever happen.

NO, I am even afraid of the thought. I never did and never want to live check to check. All I do to avoid it is believing in "pay yourself first". I have setup a 25% auto payment to my saving account. So I do not even see my complete earnings. Now I have to plan my expenses accordingly and also have something saved for a rainy day. Financially tension makes life horrible is my belief. So I take every step to avoid the situations. We can not control the emergency situations, all we can do is have something in the sac.

There are times when living pay check to pay check is hard. My husband's hours keep on getting decreased all the time and it hurt us badly. We have had to give up our cell phones (which is hard on us because my husband wants to start a mobile dj service) and for a while we had no tv. Thank goodness we were able to get our tv back. I am in the process of launching my online store and am scared because I am not sure with the bad economy if people will be buying things. I will be selling soap and bath salts. I was thinking of selling a set of six soaps (they are small) and two sandwich size bags of bath salts for 4.00 plus shipping. I am not sure if this is expensive or not. I also am making mosaic ornaments using glass balls and will be selling these for 3.00 for a set of 4 plus shipping. I have dough ornaments which I will give people the option of having them prepainted or they can buy them unpainted. I will sell them in a set for 3.00 plus shipping.
I will add you as a friend and ask you about the sites you make money at.
Thank you

Both myself and my husband work full time, but most months it feels like we are working just to pay bills. We dont eat out a lot or go out partying every weekend, like most of our friends do, but it seems like we are just about make it from month to month. I started reading up on the law of attraction and watching mind movies. They say you have to see the things in life you want and imagine you have them for it to happen. I am trying to be more positive and waiting to see what will happen. I have been researching how to make extra money online so hopefully something will work out.

My husband and I lived paycheck to paycheck for awhile, and were even homeless for almost 6 months. I was pregnant with our son, and we both lost our jobs within 2 weeks of each other. Once we did both find jobs again, and a new place to live, it didn't take us very long to hoard every dime that came our way, and to learn to live on less. We haven't lived paycheck to paycheck in 2 years, and we're just about debt free. It feels good. His income is sufficient for us and our lifestyle, but I love working and earning money. Since I don't get nearly enough hours at my outside job, I'm scoping out the online money making thing. What other websites do you know of? I'm interested. I'm open to trying new things, so why not?
How is your financial situation now? Have you considered reading "the total money makeover"? This is how my husband and I got ahold of our financial situation. It's genius in my opinion.
