Work so hard for so little pay out

May 23, 2019 6:52pm CST
I work everyday. Regardless if I'm sick or hurt. I work from 5am to 7pm for so little money. I've applied for other jobs but no one wants to give me a chance. The cost of living is high and I'm always late on bills. Anyone else feel like they're at their wits end? Don't know what else can be done or has tried so much to improve their situation that they don't know what else to do and just want to crawl in a hole and give up but can't because they have people depending on them?

I'm sorry things are so tough right now. =( I have felt this way before when we were homeless in a motel room with 5 kids to feed and a broke down vehicle. I am so grateful I had faith and knew God had a better plan and that was only for a season. And it was... Everything that happens is for a season, some feel longer than others but you will overcome and this will be a painful distant memory someday. For now, I am praying for you to see the blessings even if they are hard to find right now. When we focus on those the season passes by more quickly.

I appreciate that I really do. I'm glad you and your babies found a better situation. I'm just sick of struggling. I've been struggling my whole life and I'm just tired. I really hope the expression is true what doesn't kills you makes you stronger.

@Frenchie2009 I'm praying things improve for you soon. I know it's not easy but if you can try not to focus on the problems, try to see the good you do have. :)

I pray during these difficult times. We all have our struggles. It's good that you're already broadening your horizon. The pay here isn't much as well, but if you just keep on interacting with lots of different people here the numbers should add up, and it can help. Try to stay focus and don't give up. It will all be back to good times soon.

They say the harder you work for something, the greater you'll feel when you achieve it. But this is getting out of hands. People are taking advantage of this to strain mankind. Which is quite outrageous.

Do you believe in yourself? well, if you do, what you're doing today will lead to a better result soon because you are a very hard working person. Maybe there's something you can better that what you're expecting if you think that they doesn't want you to give another chance? nah, stop that habit of thinking. You are you, you are better, just have some time alone and figure out what kind of job you'll grow . If others can, why can't you? I'll pray for you don'tcha worry
