@jessica.deshields im glad its back on too. That would be so scary to have cps called. Im glad you got through that. Money problems happen to everyone at some point. I have tried to stay positive and tell myself and my fiancé that everything will be okay.

@newmommyathenia, I'm glad you got it on. I felt bad that it got shut off. I have had that happen. My husband worked his butt off to make things happen and one day it went down. Our son was hospitalized I had two other small kids and my husbands uncle kicked us out of our place because he needed it for his daughter. My son had rsv and pneumonia due to being born early so at two weeks he was in hospital my husband got a check for 0.00 because some unexpected things came out that week. So we moved into a home with no electricity and no gas in the dead of summer had cps called on us and luckily we had source to cook and had ice chests for their food and all kids had a bed so we passed the check with no problems but I was scared and afraid of loosing my life blessings. We have made sure we pay all bills at the beginning of the month so we don't have that problem again. It's hard living on your own sometimes and so stressful.

@newmommyathenia, yea same here because i see alot of ppl doing wayy worse then us even though i might be upset or uncomfortable in our situation at times i still say to myself girl ur blessed stop whinnying ☺️🤦🏼‍♀️

He works so hard honestly. He comes home from one job and goes to the next 30 minutes later some days. Unfortunate things will happen but you just gotta keep your head up. I always try to be encouraging and look at the bright side. @sixplusones

@newmommyathenia, yea i try n bare with my SO too i dont like to be on his back to tough either... i jus try n help, he let our stuff get turned off too but I managed to get it back on

Well best of luck they do have budget billing options with electric company so the bill will be the same each month

But im glad we don't have a ton of bills @mommysbabies

Well we pay renters insurance and couch payments too. We are hoping to get WiFi soon. @mommysbabies

Lucky we pay lot rent and electric and gas and internet and mortgage couch car insurance and we are about to add a car payment next week when we go get a new car

For some reason my fiancé wants to take care of the bills. He is very prideful about it so I just let him do them. We only pay rent and electric tho. @mommysbabies

Yeah for sure I do all the bills my husband would be lost

We are on the third/top floor of our apartment building so all the heat rises during the summer and it gets hot in here. My fiancé lost track of the electric bill since his phone has been broken he has just been paying without knowing how much we owe. I thought we were paid up and it came to a complete shock when the bill collector showed up. But he was upset about it once he came home from work he felt bad enough about it I kinda just tried to not be mad at him for not keeping track of it. Im just glad its on now and that he has learned its a good idea to keep track of our bills. Ill definitely be double checking for bills in the mail too. @mommysbabies

Yeah our billing plan got canceled over 40 dollars I was kinda aggravated but my bill is less then what my billing plan was so it kinda worked out yeah I only use my ac if I have to I try and keep it off and if I have it on I set it really high because we stay outside for the most part except for right now because I need to deep clean my house

I was so upset about it. We had just paid them 3 days before they shut it off but we still owed. Im so glad to have AC again. @mommysbabies

Yay I had them turn mine off while I was pregnant with my son it was hell I was afraid it was going to happen this month so I made my husband give me money to pay it last week
