Life is so hard these days because of high prices on almost everything! Medicines, food, tuition fees, house rental, clothings, transportation, gasoline, amortization.. It's really brain cracking thinking on what kind of magic you have to employ just to make both ends meet.. How about you what do you do to make both ends meet!

Hi sammy!
I do everything that I think I could save some amount and I don't buy unnecessary things. But even though I do these things already, there are times that I still get problems with my finances. So I decided to get an additional part time job. It is also a good thing to have an additional source of income.
Have a nice day!

I use coupons, and buy things I can get for just about nothing, when I can and store them for later. If someone runs a very good sale on something, I will buy extra and store it until I need it. I don't drive all over. I try to do what needs to be done when I already have to go somewhere else.

i'l be very honest with u that no matter how I try, I just couldn't get a job nowadays.I have been stuck in the house for 10years now taking care of my son, and now that I need to get something to help with the needs, its making me crazy.
An ex boyfriend has been helping me all these years. A small amount of a routine help makes me meet both ends with my son. It is not forever and that worry me a lot. I tried some commission based things but it will never suffice alone.
Pretty hard.
