    Default Good Tuesday 2 All

    Hello, my name is Stacey and I am trying to figure out how to live off of the disability check that has now become my income. I am the mother of 2 children who are 12 and 13 and my income has just been cut by over half due to a chronic kidney issue that is preventing me from going to work. If any one has any ideas how to cut ohhh, every expense in my life I would love the help. Thanks Stacey

    Stacey welcome to Frugal Village! I know what you mean about having to live off of disability! My hubby was injured back in 2000 and it has been that way ever since. Luckily we only had one child left at home then, but he still lives with us so we do support him too. Read the forums and I am sure you will get lots of ideas!!!
