That is a question that is being asked all over the world. I ask that question myself and I do struggle. I know it irritates my condition as well and it is a very "real" stressor. First of all, know your not alone in your struggle and that it can be a major cause for a sense of personal failure. So many people are struggling and are challenged every day. It is different for each of us and a lot depends on your personal situation. One place you can call is a finacial counceling service if your in debt and cannot pay your bills. You have to see where you can possibly find some kind of assistance.

None of us are financial advisors however many here are struggling in that department. You have to try your best one day at a time and look for every possible way to survive through these hard times. I am thinking all the time about that in the back of my mind. I have sold things in my home, gone without, try not to go out if I dont have to to save on gas, I turn the heat down and wear warmer clothes. It isn't easy.

It snowed here last night and that makes it harder for me to do my chores on my little farm. But my husband plows for different people so it does give him work and he does need the money. It has been slow in work for my husband who has his own business as a builder or do any job guy and he works a second job and that has been slow as well. This snow is inconvenient but it was the first time I saw his attitude lighten up because it represents an opportunity to make some money.

It is very easy to get stressed when it becomes difficult to make ends meet. Try to be as kind to yourself as possible and remind yourself that you will do the best you can.

I know it is hard.
