Money help: The past few years have been full of ups and downs, major ups and downs. - Help.com

The past few years have been full of ups and downs, major ups and downs.

I feel like whenever anything good happens for me there are so many bad things that happen to counteract. I know I am blessed because somehow I always make it through. Finances are horrible right now. We have been on the verge of disaster for about 6 months now. I lost my job when I was 8 months pregnant and have been out of work since (June 30 2008 to current). My boyfriend works but barely makes enough to cover rent and food. I rotate buying food with paying the electric bill. All our other bills have gone unpaid since I lost my job. I would work but even if we could find someone to take care of the baby that we can trust and the baby is comfortable with, we cannot afford it. My boyfriend may be losing his job this week too. He’s been in hot water for a while with his job. It’s a sales job and he has not been able to meet his quota lately. With the economy the way it is nobocy is looking to make any purchases or spend any money really. All the stress has put a major strain on our relationship as well. I feel like I’m drowning and I don’t know what to do. I pray all the time and trust God to take care of us but I am also depressed and I cry all the time. I need help, please

I agree, your parents will be there for you, they wouldn’t like to see you like this. Even if it is just care for the baby?

best of luck

Thank you so much to you all. My family helped as much as they could but it wasn’t nearly enough. My boyfriend ended up losing his job and we were in extremely bad shape. God is good and prayer does work though. We filed for our tax returns as soon as we were able to and got good returns. Our returns carried us through the really the really rough part. My boyfriend was approved for unemployment benefits and I got hired with a wonderful company. I work from home doing administrative work and my bosses are such sincerely great people. I make earn a good salalry and with my boyfriends unemployment benefits we are doing just fine now. I am losing my car soon but we have a really old one that is beat up but still runs. The company I work for lets me work on flex time, they give me off whenever I need, for whatever reason, they bought me a computer, printer, and office furniture for my home, and we make enough to cover all of our bills and food. My boyfriend is also going to be attending school to earn his teaching degree. We don’t get along very well anymore but we are working on that. My point is that GOD is truely always there and ansering prayers. I know that we would not be here without Him. Thank you GOD!!!
