oh God...i know Jesus said not to worry and i always sin because i always worry...it seems that money is always a problem. i dunno, no matter how much i try to budget and live within our means, somehow, someplace, somewhen, something is bound to happen that we will have to spend for it. this month, three unexpected things happened that needed to be spent upon.
one is, our baby got sick. and although she doesn't have asthma, she could not breathe and we had to take her to the hospital where she was nebulized. she consumed two nebules and we spent so much on that procedure as well as on medication that lasted 10 days. thank God there is a doctor friend that supplied some of our medicines. next, our car window was broken by a possible thief. but the effort was thwarted. thank God again that nothing was stolen but we had to buy replacement glass. we are yet to have it installed as that would entail money for labor. next, our car's oil something is leaking and we had to have it fixed and tuned up. so for all that, we had to spend so much money--money that was supposed to pay credit card bills for the first week of june. and my husband is travelling. argggh...he is travelling on a very tight budget so he cannot afford to really go around shop or even go sightseeing.
anyway...we will get through. God knows all these...even before they happened. and I claim that something good will come out of this. i claim that in Jesus' name.
how about you? are you also faced with the continuing money problem?

That;s the reality of life we need money to survive in this world. Money is also my problem because I have health problem I can't afford the treatment and the medicines because I don't have money. How I wish I'm rich so I don't have a problem with money anymore.

Sorry for that... but on the other hand, though you have to spend a lot for the repair of your car and the hospitalization of your baby at least your family are all fine. Another thing, remember that you are not the only person who have these kind of problems. There are more people who are less in everything. Pray to God and He will help all of us. God bless.

I think we are either there or we have been there...
My money struggles might not in your opinion be struggles but we all feel we are struggling...
I'll give you an example of what I mean by that. My aunt who lives in NY owns a house that is worth half a million dollars (No, she will not ever share with anyone) but to her having money " Problems " is not being able to buy a new car this week.
My parent's live in a 5 bedrooom, 3 bath house, very nice to them, " money problems" is not being able to go on a vacation this year.
To my husband and I when we were having " money problems" we were living in our car and at one time we lived in a tent. The only food we had to eat was a package of hot dogs we barely had the money to buy, in my opinion these are "money problems"!!
I have learned in this world, everyone has different standards with money, love and life in general.
God has brought us a LONG way from that! Thank you Jesus =)

Money is a huge problem for me right now since I've been getting laid off and can't find any good work. I know they say money can't buy happiness, but I'm sure am a heck of a lot happier with it than without much of it lol.

This is the problem with most of the middle class or middle income group people all over the world.We do all the things despite knowing well the consequences of our doing.Worrying is an essential part of life script of this middle income group.This group falls in between the super rich and the super poor and oscillates in between.People are born and people are gone but this goes on and on.This condition should never be treated as specific to somebody but to majority in the world. No worry !

I think after all of these years, I think I am facing now the biggest problem about money. It's so hard. I don't know what is happening but we are not like this before. Money is always a problem because everything in this world has value. Cause if you don't have money you might not survive life. In your everyday life you need to buy foods and basic necessities which requires you to spend some money. And also I can say that money causes evil in this world. Many bad things are happening because money.

Hi Spoiled. I am sorry to hear about the unexpected expenses but don't you feel that you're still blessed because you're still able to get by? Imagine if you don't have savings and all these things come up. Wouldn't it be worse if you had to money to have those fixed? As for your baby, I can imagine that she's still young and prone to sickness so probably you should always try to save up in for emergencies. As for your husband's flight, is it work-related? If not, then he might want to re-schedule it.
I am, in my opinion, in my most terrible financial situation now but I already made a long term plan to work things out and I'm optimistic that I will make it happen. I always encourage myself not to give up and spend within my budget to get out of my piled debts due to the personal things that happened in my life. I'm just glad that I have my boyfriend who has been supporting me all the way too even if he knows how much I would want to sort things out myself.
I pray that things will get better and better in your life. I know you'll make it because God will not give you challenges that you won't be able to get through.

I think that is the reason why survival is getting easier for us people.In my family,that is always the issue and I think 80 percent of the people around the world is having that issue!I think only Bill Gates is not having a problem regarding money but surely his problem is where he will put all his money.

thats what we called part of our life. as in our life, almost everything needs money from the food we eat to the place we live unless we owned our own house and lot. even water that we drink we still need to pay. we cant go to work without money coz we need to pay our transportation unless its just a walking distance from your home. if we dont have money then its really a big problem as where we will get to pay out monthly electric bills, water bills, phone nor internet bills, foods, and etc. even if we have work its still not enough coz we have lots of things that we need specially in case of emergency that one of our family is hospitalized. thats why its really important to be wise and practical now a days like if we think that we dont need much of the things we like then just dont buy it but instead save the money in bank.

Hi - spoiled, it is really sad to know that.
Yes, money money and only money is being considered in this world and not the true love,the real affection,the good conduct a person has and his background.
Every individual created by HIM should undergo such circumstances depending upon their individual past karmas. This is nothing but unwinding them . This is all HIS play.
Remember HIM - pray fervently he will surely come to your rescue.

I am sorry all those predicaments came at a most trying time - no money. I had my share of that ugly feeling when my children were small and I didn't like it. But God has His way of testing your mettle. Hang on. Sing your heart out to God whilst cradling your baby. He listens and He answers!
