And move in with mom? I've taken from savings to cover bills once already this month and need to again. I'm hurting with the increased rent. Groceries and gas being higher I'm hurting.
She still charges money to live with her, and will expect me to pay half utilities and groceries we eat together. So my food choices are very much her choices. In thinking I don't know if it would actually help to move in with mom. But so many changes, financial issues are my biggest trigger. I've been debating about quitting my job, it requires me to fill up my tank twice a week. I like my job and it's perks but still I just want lay low right now. My mental health is affected by the happenings in the world and I'm really struggling to keep going. My job coach says don't quit. But something's gotta give. The rate I'm going is just too much. __________________ Son: 14, 12/15/2009 R.I.P.  Daughter: 20  Diagnosis: Bipolar with Psychosis. Latuda 100 mgs. |

My daughter had a job where she had to drive a lot plus the wear and tear on her car. But she got a line on a new job before she quit that job. She was open with them that the cost was a factor and gave them a Tull months notice. She did take a lower paying job but just this month she got a raise and will get a bonus once her project takes off, so it really worked out for her.

Are you by chance putting money out for this acting/modeling business?

Can you keep your job but move in with mom? Trust me when I say getting out of the house for something regularly is good.

Still maybe wait a month and see what happens? Although probably nobody expects things to get better financially. |

They aren't giving raises right now and I'm working disabled it's not really helpful. I can only earn so much.

Get job closer to home. It won’t cost as much. Stop commuting
I should keep quiet because I commute 30-35 miles one way every day but my situation is very different. It’s worth it for me. I’d not commute if it wasn’t worth it for me. |
