We were doing okay until August when my Father passed away, and with him went his pension check. So it's just my mother drawing Social Security, and it's not covering everything. I cannot work a regular job due to poor health - I have good days and then there are bad days where I can't move. Daughter is not in school - we home school due to autistic tendencies so I can't really leave her for long either. No car - we use city bus or walk.
Income: $880 Social Security
Food Stamps: $367 for 2 adults and 1 child
Expenses:
Mortgage and Taxes $726 {we are 1 month behind on this}
Home Insurance: $124
Electric: $369 {this includes $101 that is a split payment from August, will end in December. Our Average is $200 a month}
Water: $49 {will go down in April due to seasonal billing for rates}
Cell: $105 {2 lines, total unlimited. We use the cell phones a LOT for calls}
Cable: $89 {includes internet, basic cable, and home phone with lifeline. We cannot get TV here without basic cable}
HBA: $50 {includes everything non-food stamp}
Medical needs: $100 {includes diabetic supplies, prescriptions, etc}
Bus Pass: $30
So we have almost double going out of what we have coming in. Any ideas for at home income sources or ways to cut back further?
