Answer 1

my husband makes above minimum wage and 1000 can go in a day in my house, and i couldnt not imagine surviving on min. wage. you would have to have assistance..no doubt about it

Answer 2

Do you want to "survive" on minimum wage? Of course you don't. So let's change your thinking right now.

Think instead, "What can I do to increase my income without increasing my expence." You understand your situation the best, you know what you need to survive, now make the decision right now to change it.

When I lost my job a few years ago, I started a cleaning service business and now make great money just part time. You can do something as well.

Even online business are making people lots of money and some are just making a few dollars. So whatever you choose, I suggest you make a decision and stick to it. It will take hard work but it will be worth it.
