I'm a week late on rent due, I only paid half, I had to call all my credit card companies and utilities to tell them what's going on. And now my check engine light turned on because the bastard is misfiring. My wife lost her dad which fucked us both up due to missing a ton of work, and I don't know what to do. I'm tired of asking my family for help, the for bank is only available while I'm working, I work 2 jobs. My wife is working too and we're even took in a person to live in our spare room.
How in the world do people survive in this world when they don't even have time to be happy? I use upside for gas and shopping I'm enrolled in every stores rewards program, I make my own cleaning supplies to save money and cook from scratch. What else could I do to save money? Also with the looming government shutdown I'm going to be furloughed for however long that is. Also what are some apps you guys use to help save money? I guess this is a lot of questions.
Sound like you live in the states but one thing I’m doing to keep costs down at the moment is cycle everywhere whenever I don’t need to get the train or car. It’s 7.20 return to use the metro whereas cycling is free. Savings Adds up quickly.
Our bike got stolen last week but I appreciate the advice. I live in a town that isn't well built for anything but cars. So I have to rely on them at the moment.
