It can be rough out there. Try not to over spend. If you don't have any college, take some courses and maybe you could get a better paying job. Good Luck....you are not the only one struggling. Be thankful that you can work and always remember that there is someone out there that has it worse than you do.

It's what I do every day. But at least I have a home with electricity and a computer that is attached to the internet.
If you want something to campare it to: do a search for " the invisible children ".
I don't have any extra money after the bills, but I don't have any reason to complain.
Life's too short to waste time thinking about how much better off some other people are.
I have a good wife and a beautiful daughter. I've seen Ivanka Trump and I'll tell you that I have a much more beautiful daughter than he does. He doesn't have enough money to change that !
Forget what others have, what do you have?

Do you qualify for government assistance? Are you able to work more than one job?
After these two questions, I'd look at how other cultures do it (here, in America, even). Many Asians and Hispanics live in large, family units in an otherwise too-small house. As a species, it is up to us to thrive and eek out an existence in this world. This may mean getting together with other people who are in the same situation in order to split up some of the fixed costs when it comes to living (housing, utilities, maybe even transportation).
I realize other cultures, blacks and whites in particular, don't typically have as large a family unit that they can rely on, so it may be a matter of getting together with friends or even total strangers who share your values and face the same challenges.

It makes me very sad to see families who are in need. I don't have children at home but i remember how I had to do without certain things(sometimes cable, did some of their clothes, because I could not afford to buy them). I would suggest try to simplify and even short term sacrifices will help. Good Luck.

Ask yourself, "Do I have any possessions that I can do without? Am I working extra hours just to be able to afford something out of my means?".....Be honest with yourself about your needs and wants. Not saying that you aren't, but try not to be too materialistic. These days, it's hard to afford what you need without always getting what you want. Treat yourself sometimes, but don't go overboard.

I'm with Chantilla on this one, pray and gather all I have and make something out of it. I would only ask for guidance if I really did need it, but I would ask of guidance first from God and then from family. Or maybe I ask for guidance from both of them first. I would have to have faith in Him, first of all, pray, and do good with what I had. Now I have my money all taken care of and I'm still alive and well which is good for me.
