Simply put I feel like I am on the verge of a mental breakdown. I live in Utah if it makes a difference and really everything was going fine until I lost my job and couldn't find one for about 2 months, during that 2 months rent and all other bills took all of my savings, I am a manager at a fast food place as they are one of the only places I can actually get to hire me without having a GED and I don't have a car as I can't afford to pay for one.
The biggest issues are that my wife is expecting and nobody will hire her since she's pregnant and so far she hasn't been able to get any stay at home jobs. The 2 months I was unemployed I went to the hospital, my wife went twice (no insurance at the time, got Medicaid once we found out we were expecting), my dog needed to go to the vet. I thought my tax return would help save me a bit but came to find out that my old job wasn't taking enough money out for taxes (their fault, not mine as I got a refund last year) so I found out I owe taxes this year.
Basically I owe around 1,700 not even counting the bills from my wife going to the hospital before insurance, that would add it up to around 3,000-3,500. Getting another job is difficult as it took 2 months of applying to even get the one I have now and it only hires shift swings, I get around $650 a paycheck but one full paycheck goes to rent every month so I only have around $650 a month to pay for food for us and the dog, bills outside of rent, and to pay off all these bills.
