so poor, that even if you work so hard to get better every day,and get more money; your job doesn't pay enough for your bills and maintain your family, at a point where even you cry, 'cuz you don't have a thing to eat.
And you have your 2 kids asking you something to eat, 'cuz they are hungry???
What would you do...? I would Like to know your opinion...
And i'm not talking about loosing your money 'cuz you wanted to..
Let me explain myself, you are working in a good company, your salary is rate normal-good, and you don't eve have a car 'cuz all your money goes to pay bills.
Now you live in a modest home, nothing fancy...
You just don't have money 'cuz your house services are so hi, that the money you get every week isn't enough to live...?
What can you do???
HEY.. you have your kids, when everything went fine, just think; i'm talking about just 2 kids, and now you are almost in the street....
What woul you do?
I'm open to hear any ideas, and please be realistic...

I don't have children, but even though it sounds bad, I would consider going to a shelter, or looking at different charities around the area. Your most important job when you have children is this:
*making sure they have enough to eat and shelter
*making sure they grow into strong adults
I have heard stories of homeless people even doing this (hence the new Will Smith movie)
I would consider looking into a better job, or a second job. If you're kids aren't old enough to be in school, or you need daycare because no family is able, I would consider looking into getting a job at a daycare where there are discounts for your own children, and getting a second job early evenings (one that pays good, even if it means bartending. Bartenders can make excellent money!!!!) You think of your kids and what they need, then you decide on you. Good luck.
Even if it means child protective getting involved ON YOUR BEHALF

I am very sorry for your situation and though it does not help, know that many Americans of all races are struggling to make ends meet. Several years ago, reports indicated that grown children were not leaving home because of financial difficulties. Just this past year (2006), reports show that not only are grown children not moving out, but they are marrying, having children and now parents are burdened with helping to support 3 generations. Times are changing, America is changing and it's not getting any easier for anyone but the rich. Most families members are working two jobs as well. My suggestion, use you present income and child dependency to your advantage and go back to school. You should be eligible. Health care is still in high demand and I suggest you strive for echocardiogram technician. You'll last longer than nursing and it's in high demand too. Good luck

You get a second job. You do whatever you have to ( within the law ) to survive.
I have worked a 40 hour a week job a 25 hour a week job and a weekend job all at the same time before when I was hurting for money.
Or sell the house and get something cheaper, or rent something cheaper.
Go talk to your church if you belong to one and see if they could be of help to you temporarily. I know some don't even require you to be a member of their church.
Of course family help is something to turn to if you have them. and if they can help at all.
If your salary is normal-good and you cannot pay your bills then you did something wrong financially. There is assistance for debt relief like consolidation loans, debt counseling services and the like that can help with the burden of bill collectors.
I dont know if this is a hypothetical situation or your talking about a friend or even about yourself. Perhaps if you provided some specifics I could give you some more solid advice.

I'm so srry what I would suggest is that you borrow money from the bank. You sould also get a much better job you can ask some family to help you out tell your kids that you are going through a tough time right now and that you can't buy anything like toys for them right now just to help you out try to stay in touch with your family if you don't have any just if you need the kids out for a while wilw you have time to figure out what your gonna do just send them to your mom or your siblings I hope this helped and~*God Bless~* You that your going through this tough issue hope it helps.

I have been there,I was raised poor,and I worked hard to have something so my kids could have a better life,I only had 2 kids,thats all I could afford.Even that is a struggle,but I dont get freebies from my government.Now let me ask you a question,How would you feel if you worked hard to have what you got,and someone came in and got more than you without having to work ? Dont expect me to feel any sympthy for those who wont help themselves and expect someone else to give them a free ride.

Well the best thing to do would be go back to school. That is what my mother is doing. She is taking wildlife classes. She can become a Wildlife advice giver. I knew a man who sold a buck for over 500,000 dollars. Can you believe that? That would change your circumstances for a long time!

I would do whatever was needed to get myself out of that situation.Better job, school, 2nd or even 3rd job, whatever. The only thing I would not do is take any kind of handout from the FED.

I didn't have cable TV or the internet for 4 yrs. Believe me you can survive w/out it. You have to write down all your expenses and decide what can be cut. A 2nd job is sometimes necessary

absolutely everyone learn the tricky way and people who do not are purely waiting for their turn to "stay their existence to the fullest questioning they're invincible yet as quickly as something occurs to them (azab from Allah(swt).. they unexpectedly replace into all non secular n discover God" and do you recognize why? because of the fact we are actually not ANGELS.

You have a house. I live in an RV and a small one at that. When the winds blow real hard, I have to leave it.
