Is anyone else extremely scared about financial struggles?

Question

We have had multiple things happen to us all at once like car problems which came from a wreck to family members deciding they want to be extremely judgmental and my boyfriend being laid off of work. We are living at his parents house which we definitely don't want to be doing at the time that our son arrives. I don't want to add a baby to their problems they are already juggling. We need our own place so bad and I don't know how that's going to happen before he's here. I'm not working because Im 31 weeks pregnant and recently graduated beauty school and got my license which I'm SO happy about so I can get a good job when I'm ready, but it's a lot! 
I get so stressed out at night thinking about money I just cry.

Is anyone else wondering how they will get it all done?? 😥😢

Answer

Well I work full time but it's not a career for me and it's not the ideal income for raising a baby, my BF is out of work but he is a barber. I have faith that everything will be ok I am good with saving and I am financially responsible I don't think my child will be without )matter of fact I know she won't) but I wanted more for my family. I had a second job but I had to quit because it was nerve wrecking.. It was extra money that I really could use but I am trying to think positive

Answer

My fiancé and I are also having financial struggles. It has been so stressful. I'm pushing 38 weeks and we are also being forced to live at his parents' home for the time being. It's so unfortunate and it just makes me feel incredibly disorganized and ashamed. My fiancé recently lost his job and I am choosing to work until I absolutely can't, but it's just part time and hardly any hours. We are just praying for a light at the end of the tunnel. We know that we will be okay but the stress almost seems unbearable. You will make it through this girl. Just try to have as much faith as possible!

Answer

All the time! Especially at the holidays.  Have faith things will work out.

Answer

I stress about everything eveyday, how can we buy this, how are we gonna pay for that, we just bought a new house that need fixing we can't do cause we need stuff for the baby, but things just get done. I never thought we could afford a mortage,bills,cars,food, and now all the medical bills, but you learn to adjust and how to spend wisely . it's terrifying but things get paid slowly. Don't overthink it, it only makes things worse. People are far worse off than we are. And they still raise beautiful healthy babies. Have you tried getting assistance? WIC, SNAP, Medicaid, or food stamps?

Answer

We are having money problems too. It's really stressful! Will probably sell my car and we are trying to cut any corners we can. I made the choice to cut my hours so I could stay home with baby and not use daycare. I know it's the right choice but it's still hard.

Answer

We just had a $1300 lab bill, my husbands phone broke and then the replacement didn't work, my tablet broke, replaced it, they sold me a faulty one and had to replace again. The bank is rearranging money in my husbands student loan and taking more interest.  My husband got his phone replaced on Sunday, we got the outrageous hospital bill on Monday, his replacement phone broke on Tuesday, my replacement tablet broke on Wednesday and we learned about the bank yesterday so we drove two hours today to get it resolved at the proper location. And the week isn't over yet! Just stressful and none of it's even important stuff. Just stuff and it's awful
