I am going through the same exact thing, I just find out a week ago which is perfect right before rent and all LOL.
I think we all have an old lady and kids it seems BUT the good thing is we do have something that can pay the bills unlike many around the nation and world for that matter.
What I have started to realize however is that if I stopped trying to EARN MORE MONEY and focus more on figuring out what is most important in life, living can actually be pretty inexpensive.
I mean how many are running around with a home loan, car loans, credit cards, 2 or 3 cell phones, all the cable channels possible, internet service, free credit score membership, gym membership and then bitch because they can't pay the bills.
We need to reduce our spending and wants each month and focus on what matters. To myself what I think makes sense is to grow my own food garden to save on food costs, to cancel all tv subscriptions, no xbox live, no extra phone and all the frills I used to feel were mandatory. How sad is that....
Now I can focus on spending time with my kids versus putting them on a damn tv show or instead of us all sitting on our asses watching tv to go out and do something like pick food from the garden or something else to teach my kids how to LIVE which means safety, shelter, food etc and really isn't getting good grades, getting into the most expensive school in hopes of getting a high paying job to pay off all the debt they incured while attempting to live the so called American dream.
Stay up my man but trust me it fuckin sucks. I hate looking at my kids then looking at my bank account. Brings tears I must say BUT in the end it is a kick in the ass to prioritize your life, your actual wants and your real deal needs in life.
