I'm so stressed about being poor when I can't work after I have my baby 🙃

@courtney.welsh tell me about it!

I'm that person who checks the mail faithfully everyday beginning the first week of January lol $$

@gmartinez31, right, very true. But jobs always take too damn long to get out your tax info!! 😂😂😂

@courtney.welsh I believe it's a state offered thing not 100% sure though. You should check through your employer and state guidelines. Having something come in is better than nothing. Also tax season is right around the corner thank god.

@gmartinez31, yeah, I'll have to stay at home for as long as the doctor says I'll have to. Right now it's so close to the end of the year, I might as well just come back after the first of the year which if she's born on her due date, it's 7 weeks out... But I figured disability was a job offered thing, are you applying through the state?

I've always had a decent income so being unemployed is going to be tough. I plan to work until I have this baby and save every paycheck then apply for disability which I hear is close to nothing. I'll have to get used to less income but I figure it'll be worth staying home with baby for a few month atleast.

@juliaschade41, that's the only thing, we have so many bills and s credit card we've been spending so much to pay off, if we didn't have that stupid credit card, we could have been saving. But now I'll only have October and half of novemeber to save. Ugh

@courtney.welsh I had to save up as much as possible.

@alyssa_hoffmaster, yes! I don't know what I'm going to do. Right now I'm taking 7 weeks off but I've been trying to find something I can do at home to make money but it's hard. And I haven't talked to my doctor about what I'm required to take. I stand all day at work, so I don't want to push it too early

Me too girl 😩 I was supposed to have 2 months off but I'm only taking 1 month off because I can't afford it. We need the money to pay bills and put food on my kids plates
