If we qualify it would take the load off for awhile so I can pay these other bills, that's for sure.
Ultimately, it's holding my finger in a dam that's cracking.

Ever seen extreme couponing? I think we should all start doing it.

Was going to mention this in my previous post (about the things you can do to help yourself.. aquaponics, solar heating/etc)...
Not to toot horns here or anything, but by using the above methods that I described, my family was able to officially, as of today, get off of food stamps and medicaid.
That's a really good feeling!

I'm working two part time jobs, my husband is in college and working a full time and part time job. We are still coming up $300 dollars short on making it every month. We are paying monthly payments on a hospital bill, and now I'm being sued for one despite my proving to the collection agency that I simply have no money.
I'm going to court on wednesday to prove my case. I wonder what will the judge tell me? Pay anyway? Where do I get this money? My family is sinking. The gas and food prices are killing us.
This last month I sold off a bunch of things on craigs and ebay.
I have $35 left for groceries this week after filling up our gas.
I just want to know, will I be the next person to go on welfare so I can feed my kid?
Tonight , my husband and I feel like complete failures. I'm not whining, believe me. I'm angry. I feel like we are under the boot and being squashed. The govt wants to keep us weakened no matter how hard we work and sacrifice. It's never good enough.
Anyone else out there going through this too? Shout out and let me know we aren't alone tonight.
Thank you.
