My salary is not enough to cover monthly expenses

Before,I am the only one who pays my tuition fees,when I was still studying.I still do it today,as the cost of living expenses are going up,then my salary is surely not enough to connect my daily needs for the next month income is already consumed,due to advances of the salary.When I was going to my work,I have to make an extra income by making some sandwiches,and other snacks,so that my mates in the company would not go out for some snacks that I have it with me already for them to buy.By this way,I have manage to expand my,hard earn money,then I also have to apply as salesman to other cosmetic companies,as they also offer part time jobs as salesman.It is very hard to become a salesman,yet I just enjoy myself doing it,so that I can have more clients.I have never doubted myself and earn what was worth my perspiration of being a salesman.At least I have earn much more to meet my monthly salaries,and I have already had a savings out of my perseverance of making extra income.It is really tiresome sometimes,yet I have to strive my best to survive.

Well one thing I can think of is think opposite. Is there anything you could do at home that could help? Things that can save on the bills, foods that you don't really need to buy but want. Maybe you could find some good tips that can help you save more at home?

Right now because my dad takes care of the bills and food, i do not have to worry about anything. But my monthly income too is not enough to pay for the bills and food. I am planning to start a part time business where i could earn some extra income. It should help me out in the long run. I suggest you too to get a part time job or do a side business which relates to health care, personal care and insurance products. With that you could get enough money to cover you monthly expenses.

It happened to me many times. That's the reason I was encourage myself to find job abroad. If I stayed in my country, I will suffer financial crisis every day. Better I was lucky and easily find job in Middle East.

If your salary is not enough to cover your expenses, you need to figure out where you can trim some expenses. Likely, there are ways to decrease your family's spending. Also, from what I understand, school fees are only about $15USD per month. Unless you have a bunch of kids, what you bring in from online earnings alone should be able to cover such fees.

Hi, The costs of the things we use daily are rising up. and the salaries are not rising in that proportion. I think many of us are facing this problem. I am the retired person. I don't have pension. I have some investments and I am working as insurance advisor. I am also searching for a part time job. My son has well paid job. We are together so the expenses are divided.

"The only solution is to get an additional job" - or spend less.

I was pretty much in charge of my life until I got ill. And although my health insurance plus a special help from the government covers a great part of the treatment, noone will cover small extras that add up when one is ill. Fortunatly my family is helping me out.

Yes, money is tight everywhere. It would help if your wife also an an income to add to yours. Budgeting when there's very little money to budget can really be a headache.

Hi there! Yes I have experienced this before. I am not married yet but I am the only child in the family that is why I handle all of our expenses. Food, Rent, Water, everything. Sometimes, my salary is not enough. But what I usually do is to budget my salary. I will not buy things that are not necessary. Good thing I was able to get an increase and I was able to budget my salary now.

Your wife doesn't have a job? I know how difficult life is, but so far I have not experienced the same thing as you. I have only one son but he goes to one of the most expensive school in my city. Nowadays, it's really practical if both parents are earning a stable income to sustain the family expenses.

its really hard when we have our own family and our salary is not enough to cover monthly expenses,that is why some of people look for another side line for their additional income to cover expenses,actually there are many people who have many sidelines aside from their full time work.

Its the same thing. Its normal to experience something like that. Living nowadays cost high. We really need to work hard.

Mine doesnt it cover my bills here.. so I have to work online to earn 75.00-100.00 more each month. Im lucky most months with sites like mylot. Im able to make that extra money I need here. Take care there.

Hi, May you could try to find some freelance job online? There are a lot of freelance job to do online. You can find on elance.com, freelance.com, freelancer.com etc. There are plenty of job with high pay.

Minimum wage workers are suffering this problem. The prices of prime commodities are increasing almost every month, but the salary never increases in a year- that's the reason why it's hard to cope up with the daily expenses for minimum wage workers. Having sideline or other job will he a great help- but, we must take care of our health too..or else we will end up spending our spare earnings for hospitalization.

Currently I don't have children but I'm studying and working supporting my self just to finish my degree even though I have stable job and good salary still I have the same problem as yours my income is not enough to cover my other expenses aside from my tuition fees. It is a good thing that I have learned this online job and found many sites that could help me support all my expenses and other needs. So far I earn good money online so most of my online earnings become my savings and investment for the future. I know exactly what you feel right know I just hope you could find a good site too were you can able to earn just like me.

High paying job nowadays is so hard to find specially in a province where whom-to-know syndrome is rampant. For extra income, you need to observe your surroundings what's in then you can have a business out of it. Direct selling too is best just to make sure that your customers are good payer. Good luck!

I don't have a kid yet, so I only earn money for my own use. And I think it is still enough.

Well i have been in this situation that you are now facing and it was very hard i have even asked myself why life can be so hard... but it didn't help by just saying those words i hard to get and find a job that pays me enough to take care of my responsibilities... I think you should do the same Good luck & Happy New Year...
