My boyfriend and I only buy what we need, and pay the bills, but so far behind. Other than working multiple jobs, what can we do?

Yeah- and now we are finding out that our house really is a piece of crap and falling apart, (we did not know these problems would come up but it's a long story, and we are also going to get married this year).

First start writing down what you spend, when you spend it. Keep a spending diary. You will be surprised when you find out that you spend money on stupid things that you could make yourself --example--coffee & lunch. Then make yourself a budget and stick to it. Pay off the credit cards and throw them away.
Your house? Make a list of things that are wrong with it. Include house maintenance in your budget. Then do the jobs yourself. Don't know how? Go To Home Depot. They have a rack of pamplets on how to do different household fixes and also give classes.
The best thing is to keep a positive attitude. And remember-this too shall pass!

Get better paying jobs. Eat Raman noodles. Stop smoking, drinking, and buying drugs. Grow vegetables.
Sell stuff you don't need. Ebay it.
