Hi
I am a newly single mother of 4 great teens. I have full custoday if my kids and they see their dad every other weekend. My ex-husband and I were both professionals most of our 20 years married. Starting just prior to our divorce, my ex sold his business and has been unemployed since. He does not pay his $1000/mo child support. He has helped me here and there when I ask and he pays my car insurance. I am grateful for this. Though I have a good income I struggle with budgeting and am currently really struggling. I had a 2nd job up until several months ago which helped a lot. I hadnt realized until now how much it helped. I find myself unable to pay most of my bills and my house payment. Like I said I have a good income but its just not enough. I need to budget better and cut back more. Are there any emergency resource to help meet monthly expense on a 1 time basis? It seems that now that im a alittle behind I cant even attempt to catch up. Any sugestions would be appreciated.
