I need some advice guys. Things are getting harder and harder right now and I just have no where to turn.
I need advise on how I can get even more frugal!!!
I still cannot find a job. I can't even find side gigs like babysitting or house cleaning. I am applying everywhere, calling them, have had a few interviews and they say they will call and never do. I had a phone interview this morning and Wayne was with me and said it sounded great so I don't think I am going anything wrong.
Last week Waynes work was shut down for 10 days. That was 10 days without pay. We went to WV to visit Waynes mom, thank goodness, she was able to provide food and gas for us for the week.
But now we are back in NJ, and I do not even know where to turn or what to do.
We are needing food so badly, and I have no idea where to get it if you have no money.
My dad has forked out so much money these past few weeks to us because Wayne was on workers comp for hurting his knee and was bringing home nothing. He had to pay my cell phone bill today because incase of jobs calling otherwise I would get rid of the stupid thing. We do not have internet or cable at the house, I have nothing left to sell. I have sold everything I can sell but a fan, and my bed. I have no nice clothes for these interviews. I am wearing flip flops for goodness sakes. Dad said that he is gonna help me with clothes but cannot do it now because he is struggling really bad to. We do not have a wash machine so I have no way to wash whatever clothes I have unless I do it in the bathtub and my gosh, has anyone ever done that before? Its really hard work! I need one of those boards you rub the clothes on because trying to rub them in my hands to get the stains out hurts. I have a hard time getting all the water out of the jeans to hang them to dry. Gas for Wayne to get to work is costing us about $65 a week right now, and thats JUST TO WORK. His car registration is due by the end of the month at $45. I just got a vet bill for $200 for Simba which we can pay in payments that goodness. Waynes call is still behind $400, and we owe the car insurance $380. Dad told me he is going to need some money soon from us, and I am just so deep in a depression about this I do not know what to do.
Wayne is working but who knows how many days a week. They just layed off people yesterday, and people the day before, and I think Wayne may be next.
I have applied for food stamps, un-employment, and we keep getting denied because apparently Wayne makes to much money. What kind of joke is that???
I just sit here all day, in a dark room, on craigslist and apply for jobs while Wayne sleeps. There is no sound, my kittie is gone, I am hungry, and I am depressed. Wayne is depressed to, I can see it, but he is holding it together. I think I am holding it together to, but I just can't seem to catch any type of break.
I am just feeling like this is all completly my fault. Maybe if I would have worked better at my last job I would not have gotten fired, we would of still been in our apartment, had food to put on the table.
Even Wayne cannot seem to find another job. He is applying as much as I have been and he has a really good resume.
I am scared Dad is going to have to kick me out soon.
NJ really stinks!!!!! I really need some hugs from friends. Some encouragement. I know people are having it worse than me right now, and I am happy I am not homeless, but if things do not change soon, I may be.
Ugh.
