I live rent free. However, I have some MASSIVE bills otherwise. I have a car loan that is $500 a month, $100 in insurance for that car that I am behind on, and electric bill I am 2 months behind on, and a water bill I am behind on. Internet obviously that I paid for to keep working as I work from home. The car's payment has been pushed off until December thankfully.

We have been eating down our pantry mostly. There are 5.5 people here (one is an infant). The baby gets Wic and is all set in that regard. I applied for food stamps, but as a 1099 they want four months pay stubs? I don't have anything to prove what I was paid except deposits from the companies I did work for this year. Because of this we have been denied SNAP.

We have gone to food pantries but most are tapped out. Now my husband just got a job, TODAY, but we are having to scramble for rides to get to his work because we don't have enough to cover gas money for two weeks. I literally have a decent vehicle sitting out there unable to be used because $40 in gas a week is too much to pull out of thin air. Trust me I tried.

I have been Mturking to get what little groceries we have gotten. ($10 two weeks ago for fresh veggies)

We are so close and yet if everything doesn't go absolutely perfect for the next two weeks, we are so screwed. I guess I just needed to vent.
