Help!

I’m a mum working full time - my partner has lost his job. I am struggling to control money & life and have nothing to look forward too. I work so hard all day - I want someone to help me cope. All the places you’d think to get financial help; government, taxman - I get nothing. I have a good job and all my piers have perfect lives and go on holidays. I feel as if I am being punished but I am a nice person. What can I do to give myself hope?

I don’t understand what your partner has to do with your financial situation. You already work full time.

well… first off… force your man to get a job. you do not have to support him.. as he is a grown man. even though you have a job.. im sure you are eligible for food stamps… being that you have children. food stamps will save your regular money for your bills… even if you get 50 dollars.. its still more than what you have now.

Being the nice person and doing the right thing is always more difficult. “Anything worth doing takes effort”. I do see that you seem to be jealous of your friends and their lives. Sometimes things get really difficult, but you have to remember that nothing is forever and everything always changes. It may take time, though good will come to you. If you only focus on the bad you will only see the bad. “Don’t take the little things for granted.” Take care.

Get a second job. You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years
