Hi ChocolateLover,

I am teaching at a community college, and the pay is pitiful. Last year when I taught fewer classes then I teach now, I made less than $9,000 for the year. The pay schedule is even worse. Right now, I will have to work two months before receiving a paycheck. Then I will be paid at monthly intervals for the next two months.

Then it will be three months before I am paid again. It is very difficult.

We also currently only have the one vehicle.

I am concerned about the affect this is having on my health as well, and I really appreciate the care and interest demonstrated in your post.
