Ok here it goes. I am in such a financial mess right now. I am 41 years old today. Not married, but have been living with my fiance for 13 years. We have 4 children together. They are 5-6-7 and 8. She also has a daughter from a previous relationship. She is 15. I have a full time job, but have gotten so far behind on our bills it's scary. One salery doesn't really cover a family of 7. I am behind on my mobile home lot rent, I am behind on my mobile home payment. I have 4 kids who will be having their tonsils out on Sept 29th. Bills usually end up getting paid to the ones who yell the loudest. It's a pretty awful way to live. The worst part is that I'm just waiting on the eviction notices. I need about $3200 just to cover my back payments. Then I need to worry about October. I'm at my wits end. I feel so bad for my children. I have no place to go if we do get evicted. They do so well in school, I'm so proud of them. They deserve so much more than i've been able to offer, and it breaks my heart. We do not have a car I have a fine to pay for insurance lapts before I can get my licence again. It's not that we are bad with money, there just isn't enough coming in. I'm close to my last resort, leaving my job to get my 401k fund. Which would only be enough to cover my back bills. At that point I'm still in trouble because I have nothing new coming in. I'm stuck. My heart is broken, I don't know how to help my family.
This is all new to me. I figured it was worth a try. I don't have anyone else that I can pour my heart out too.
