My husband and I don't make very much money. He works and I stay home with our 8 month old son. By the time we pay our bills, we have about $350-$400 left over. Buy food,diapers, and gas and we have about $150 left over. My husband seems to always use all this and more. At this moment he has overdrafted more than $300. I don't know what to do. He only gets $500 a pay check, so on his next paycheck we'll only have about $200. I love him, but talking to him doesn't help. I've threatened to take his debit-card away, but even that doesn't help. And everytime he overdrafts, the charge from the bank goes up $2. It started at $31 for everytime he overdrafts, and now it's $39. I don't know what to do! We have nothing to sell, and I don't have a car, so even if I wanted to go back to work, I couldn't. Has anybody else gone through this? I need ideas on how to save money. We end up in the negative every month and are 1/2 month behind on rent at this time. I'm so stressed out.
