Robbing Peter to Pay Paul

Can't say I've been in that situation but you don't have to live that way. Be careful with your spending. Either being in more money or decrease spending. Stay out of the stores and only buy necessities. Pay yourself first before you pay your bills that way you can build up a savings cushion in case the unexpected expense arises.

Many times I feel like I am doing this, and not sure how to ever dig out of this either. Sometimes I feel like I am starting to get ahead and then something happens, and it is back to scapping pennies. But no matter what happens I always try to make the best out of it, and take life as it comes.

Well I am in the same boat as you so don't feel bad. I never go to the stores unless I have to and that is to buy toliet paper,paper towels or medicine. I don't get the chance to buy anything I really want so I make sacrifices. Whats bad is that I live in a small town where the only jobs are part time or temp jobs so I have struggled with bills. I even got put on budget programs where I paid the minimum amounts but its still a struggle. It is a sad way to live but for some of us we have no choice. I guess thats why I am looking for a work from home type job and trying to earn money through various sites so I can earn more money.
