Bills are killing us!!!!
I've always been the type of person to stay on top of my bills (utilities, rent, etc) and prior to me getting married it was just me, so sometimes I would take my checks and pay all of my bills off for 3-4 months so I wouldn't have to worry about them and my checks would just be shopping money. Now that I'm married, things have changed. My husband makes more than me so we agreed that he would keep the rent paid since that's the biggest bill, and I'll keep up with utilities and food. We were fine at first, and prior to getting married until about 2 months after signing the lease to our new home. My job started tripping with the pay, and now my checks are nowhere near what they were. We've been struggling, and borrowing money just to keep up with utilities, rent, and still have food. Prior to us getting a home, my husband begged me to get a place that was cheaper just in case something liked this happened..but noooo, I wanted our first home to be nice, and in an upscale neighborhood not thinking about worst case scenarios and now I feel stupid!! The old bills are accumulating and the news bills keep rolling in! Its hard for me to find another job, b/c I'm a full-time college student as well and nobody wants to work with my school schedule! Something has got to give. I need a second job, we need more money, and its stressing me out. We are stuck in our lease for another 6 months and I just don't know what to do at this point. Its not like we can let go of any of the utilities b/c they are necessities like water, electricity, health/dental insurance, renters/car insurance, internet (for my online classes), etc! Help!! Advice??? Anything??? Side/flexible jobs??
