It really hurts t see your posts. Considering all that I have been through myself, I am worried about the things that may happen to you solely based on your outlook. I am having the roughest financial time of my life right now and hope that someone can help even though there are many who are in a worse spot.
For the sake of everyone who loves you and everyone with a caring soul, please look up. Someone WILL help you, and hpefully you will help someone else.

My husband and I are struggling very hard to get ahead. It seems that something keeps coming up to set us further back. My husband was making payments on a vehicle to a former neighbor, then it turns out that the vehicle belonged to his grandfather who suspected that his grandson was buying drugs, we got 150 back. My husband had to find another vehicle for work immediately. This set us back on ur rent, as well as our utilities. We are holding our breath waiting for something before our lights get cut off. The car my husband is buying (600 with a 240/mo payment) is from a budget center that repairs and sells accident vehicles, and it has engine, brake, accelerator problems.He has to use a jump box everyday, and it is wearing down every time (it is a 1999 Dodge Stratus). We were doing okay for a while so i started the enrollment process for the Art Institute, and it seemed that 1000 problems came up, so im wondering how im goind to move forward. I have applied for funding, but the process is too slow for our immediate situation. We are even reduced to eating ramen, which is okay for us but we have a 1 year old. We keep thinking about getting food stamps, but we cant even spare the gas to go to the office. My husband has to drive 80 miles (altogether) everyday to work. All we need is to get ahead. The job my husband has is good and stable, but we are so behind on everything.
What we need car payment : 240 lights, cable and water 392 (we would cut off the cable, but I need it for school) groceries: 150 (we can live off f sandwiches for a while, but we just want more than that for Seth)
Our rent is 500 a month but we can work with our landlord with less if we get help with the other things.
I hope someone can help us soon. Im not sure that i can get back on the pc everyday, since the cable people could cut us off at anytime now.
This is the first time using this and im nt sure that im doinf it right so forgive me if this shows up twice.
I am 32 year old prospective student of the Art Institute. My husband works for the Alabama DOC, and we have a one year old son. I spend my time studying, cleaning, and my hobbies are dance, writing, and designing jewelry. I have worked for the state of Alabama in the past, and have also privately counseled teens for free ( I was in an abusive relationship for several years, and now i give advice to vulnerable girls and hot tempered boys as the situation arises...they say that i am helpful).
