Never having enough money to be comfortable. Always struggling to make ends meet. Bank account always overdrawn! It's downright depressing.
In 2002, the United States Census estimated 288,000,000 people living in the land of the free. According to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts there were 39,091 business bankruptcy filings and 1,508,578 non-business bankruptcy filings in America that same year. Any way you look at it, that’s a bunch of people out of jobs, out of money and starting over.
Although painful, starting over again brings new opportunities and new hope and is the difference between being broke and being poor. “Broke” is a temporary situation, while “Poor” is a state of mind.
Webster defines “broke” as being interrupted or penniless. That’s all. It doesn’t mean you lose your personality, your sense of humor, or your friends. It means teetering on the tight rope of tough times until you get back on your feet and enjoying the process. Poor on the other hand is a personal rain cloud drizzling worry and anxiety all over you. Poor is being so caught up in what is wrong with your life you can’t find the strength to begin anew.

Depends on my circumstances. Am I married or single? Is there another involved perhaps a child or spouse? Do I have family and friends? Do I have a job? If so, Did I loose it? Do I have a problem like being an alcholic,drug addict,gambler. Do I have healh issues such as short or long term illness? My advice.
1.Ask Jesus Christ to help you figure out how to handle the problem
2. Push pride to the curb and talk to a family member or friend (if none, find a pastor to talk to )
3. Ask the locals around the community for odd jobs like mow someones yard, rake leaves, wash a car
4. Pursue infomation on how to budget your money and learn how to spend what you have in te most sensible way possible. Remember we can really do without a lot of things when we have to. You don't have to have that fancy Razor or watch cable or a pretty car or t-bone steak You have to learn to slim line your needs and wants.

Pray like anything to God to help give you the intelligence what to do. Then just do the foot work to get a Job or something to make money and He will provide. Krishna is the owner of everything so if one prays to Him he will help give you the way to take care of your needs.
