Is anyone else broke? 😭

Question

I became a SAHM because daycare was more then what I'd be making and since then it's always something to where we live down to the dollar! I hate it and we can't seem to get ahead. My husband works 60+ hours a week so he's not in the position to get another job or to watch the baby for me to get a job and because he works so much we "make too much" to get any kind of help. Our bills are late and we buy food as we need it.. Pb&J sandwiches. We're not always like this but it's been one thing after another and has been so tight for over 2 months now! 😭 someone pray for me because I'm having a mental breakdown and mine seem to not be working 🙏

Answer

Are you having a rough time like your furnace blew up and now you have no money? Or is this an every month thing? 
For us I took my math skills to a budget. Looked at what we were spending where and then made slashes everywhere I could. Like we called the internet provider to give us a lower rate or we would have to go with the worse-but-cheaper one. I shop with a list and prices, adding as I go and keeping it under a certain amount. I cut back our cell phone service. If you have debts, attempt to consolidate them or get some kind of deal to lower interest. Shop second hand as much as you can. Sell stuff you don't need anymore. Etc. 
I do hope you can get through this whether it be a short term problem or an ongoing need. If you genuinely cannot afford food, try a church. They usually don't make you prove anything to get a little bit of help.

I'm there now. I just called to see about going back to work. I find out tomorrow. 🤞🏻

Answer

We are going to have this issue. Neither one of our jobs cover bills on their own though. The daycare we planned on using that was affordable closed the same month we got pregnant with our second. So we will be paying 2000 a month in care. My job has the health insurance, so I can't stay home. My husband is not the type that can handle staying home. He gets too antsy. So this will be fun.

Answer

Do you have any family that would watch baby a couple times a week so you could get a part time job? Even if it’s only 1 or 2 short shifts a week. Something is better then nothing!

Answer

I’m sorry girl! I’ve definitely been there. We have struggled because of my husbands car payment 😐 Is there any stuff you can cut back on? Like do you have Netflix and Hulu? Or cable? We cut our cable bill, just kept WiFi low and use BIL Netflix 🤫🤫🤫 (I’m kidding he does know) For groceries I always look at what’s on sale, like for canned food I see 10 for 10$ sales..
