Sorry I've been there too. I know our system makes no sense, does it? I hope things get better for you.

That's what county welfare offices are for. To tide you over in dire rmergencies. Sounds like you need to have a lower car and house payment and buy food instead of paying bills. Hard to get in that bad a situation without some addiction. Assimg you have a job or unemployment payments, that is. If you don't have those you should have food stamps.

Own my home outright, bought it for 7k, so dont want to hear about lower home payments, my most expensive vehichle was 1000 dollars, and can't qualify for assistance because I make just over the annual amount that would qualify me. Any other ASSumptions?

Feel you. My house has been in and out of foreclosure for the last two years, I have been laid off twice from two seperate companies in the last three years. Fell behind on every bill, haven't been able to sell my house because the market....luckily found a decent job, but catching up is all I can try and do.


You are not alone. I have a small kid, not sure if you have children, but if I was single I would be like whatever. The hell of a kid is wondering what I will do if I get laid off again, and this company is already talking about cuts in the summer.

The game sucks.

Don't you love it when people do that? lol

I hope things get better for you OP, and I totally understand how you feel. My husband and I both work, and while we're doing better then we were a few years ago, its still a struggle. We have 3 kids and I recently decided to try for food stamps, just to see, and we qualify for a whopping $85 dollars a month, lol. I guess it's better than nothing, but it's frustrating - I see so many people who dont work, who dont even try to find work, and they get EVERYTHING paid for: rental assistance, fuel assistance, 500-600 a month in food stamps, cash assistance, etc. They live better than I do - have nicer cars, and so on. Hang in there!

I call BS.

You own your own home, have no vehicle payments, you have a job, but you have no food or money?

I'm guessing you're self employed and work has been slow, because otherwise the math just doesn't add up.

My household of 3 lives on $15 an hour and we manage a $625 a month house payment.

Have you thought about bank robbery yet? Those fuckers had no problem taking trillions in TARP money from you. I think it's time you made a $1500 withdrawal. It's all your fucking money anyway.

Of course that's not something you walk into lightly but it is an option that should at least be on the table for consideration.
