So I have borrowed money from my parents bc times have been hard I’m behind on a couple bills so all my money goes on bills and I have asked if they could help me get some food well of course I have to pay it back but my landlords son took a months worth of our rent and our landlord tried to say we didn’t pay it we proved we did and haven’t heard from him in 2 weeks well we owe my dad and mom together 400$ and our rent is 950$ we were behind until 2 weeks ago our gas got turned off and we paid that to get it turned back on so we couldn’t pay my dad then also our electric is behind so we have to pay that and the cable bill and my dad keeps asking every week where is his money and we keep saying well we have to pay 100$ for a car payment every week and put food in the house and gas in the car and put some money on bills but he has a hard time understanding this bc he makes more money then us and my brother lives with us as well With both incomes my brother and husband don’t make enough to pay everything at once I’m so stressed bc I just wish they would understand
@ariesmotherof3, okay. Well I'm sorry you're going through this. Hopefully the break on the electric WI help and this shall pass for you.
@rese, things are getting better it’s just so stressful they ask for money every week when I don’t got it yet
Can you get on a payment/budget plan with the utilities? We got behind on our electric due to when I broke my wrist and haven’t gone back to work since I’m back in school full time. I called them up and asked to work with me, and dropped the bill into sections and it’s usually a good deal. You should look into it! It helps a lot.
We have talked to the electric company and they are willing to help and I have to buy my daughters school supplies
Maybe you can give it back to him in bits and pieces vs all at once. Like $30 every paycheck from everybody or $20 until it clears your debt with him. Only bc I’d want my money back too, & with all the bills y’all have & high rent .... y’all might need to borrow from him again but you don’t wanna burn your bridges by not paying him back.
We don’t have it by Wednesday with gas in the car bills and food we are broke
I'm also from Toledo. Maybe try finding somewhere cheaper to live $950 is a lot for r city!! And try going to hipp for your utilities. And I know some food banks in the area also. Theirs a fb page called help feed Toledo. Join them their awesome!! Also donate plasma.I just started the one on dorr by collingwoof $75 for the first 4x!!! U can go twice a week. I have a card if u go u will get a extra $10 if u say I sent u.
I'd ask your dad and the electric company (a lot of times they have hardship plans in place) for a payment plan as others suggested, look for quick easy jobs that you can do for money. (Babysit, cut grass, clean houses, etc) and cut out unnecessary bills like cable, etc.
