Как выжить на одну зарплату в семье с детьми сегодня

How are people even managing a one income household these days with dependents? I feel like we cannot catch a break with 2 incomes🙄. Prices keep going up for everyday needs to function as a human. I do not even want to pay any bills. I just want to throw money in the air and watch it sort its way out of my life. This is the crap life I did not vote towards. Rant over.

Living with parents sounds like paradise now🥴. Not that I have that option. Vacations? Pphhhfffff those are fond distant memories now. Fock!

Skip Christmas lol. I am honestly hoping these next few months flow smoothly with minimal cold storms and snow. I need Spring and warmer weather.

My husband has a really good job and is a workaholic lol.

But we also don’t go out to eat often or do much.

We are barely getting by and we don’t qualify for any help, we just started a budget to hopefully help us.

Literally just said maybe I need to go back to work, just having someone to watch my kids is an issue we don’t have family to do so and if I am paying for care my check wouldn’t be helping us financially.

Ughhh. I remember daycare days when I was a single parent. The most frustrating juggle while working.

It’s near impossible. I’m caring for my grandmother instead of working but we’ve been selling off years of her hoarding things and we’ve been splitting the money.

Honestly the only way we’re really able to is because my parents help us out a bit. And luckily my son qualifies for medicaid and I qualify for government assistance with health care. 🫣 But if I worked, literally my whole entire paycheck would go to daycare, so it’s just not worth it.

Its definitely alot. We are a one household income. Everything is getting more expensive each month and its stressful. I now have a weekly grocery budget of 150 for three humans and three pets. This includes food, pet supplies and cleaning supplies. It used to be 200 but we needed to cut our food budget. On top of it we have lawyer fees and court fees now. I told Emma she is going have to start selling paw pictures for help support us 🤣
