Hello All,
Long story short, throughout my life money hasn’t meant anything. I mean it’s never held any importance because it was never talked about. My mother was a single mother of 3 and had an amazing way of just being everything. We never wanted for anything and somehow she made it work. Money was never talked about never mentioned and never exchanged between my siblings and I. Adult hood has hit like a ton of bricks. I’m a mother of a toddler with a single income and I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve ruined my credit by forgetting about cards I opened up years and years ago. My husband has has financial issues with an eviction and 2 repos that have my name on it. Being a single income family, I haven’t been able to catch up and I’m even negative in my accounts most of the month. I’m trying to do better but I always seems to be behind and can’t qualify for a loan anymore. I truly don’t have a lot of debt, maybe 10k/15k if not adding in my car; then would be 25k give or take. I don’t know how to make money matter enough to save it. I buy food for my son and a $1 toy here n there. I am a terrible cook even when I try that going out is normal and I hate it. I don’t understand how to help myself enough to make sure our life is okay. I don’t need to be rich just make money last a month to where I’m not negative or only have $15 in my account. Any advice is welcome but yes the husband is trying to find something remote because my son isn’t old enough to go to school and daycare is $750. We haven’t found anything and it’s getting disheartening. I make $18.83 and hour and take home maybe $1100-$1300 every 2wks. If that helps any
Thanks all
