This is the first time in my adult life I literally don’t have a penny. I have my masters degree and a ‘good job’ which is considered a professional role and my husband Also has a steady income. We were able to qualify for WIC last year, which helps. But between the rising daycare cost (we have 4 kids, 3 in full time care), student loans, and just the rising costs of everything we are struggling. I’m pinching pennies anywhere we can. I am nervous I won’t have enough gas to make it until Friday next week until I get paid and for sure will be overdue with our daycare bill. I feel like a failure… I did all the steps. We can’t keep up.

Just needed to vent to get some of this anxiety out of my head.
