By working even harder! Can u believe i'm holding 4 different jobs now? 1 full time with 3 part time and 1 freelancing assignment? I need all the jobs to make ends meet as well as to settle my debt. If one wants a comfortable life, we must work for it. Money doesn't drop from the sky. ONly hard earned money will see us through because we cherish it more than lucky money.

Well, this will be the second, and hopefully the last time I typed this response to you. The other was once again lost somewhere. I, fortunately, have a loved one who is holding me up at this time. It makes me feel little and like nothing, but she insists that I did the same for her when she needed it. I still feel bad, like a loser right now. I am also doing all I can on the internet afte I babysit and keep my 85 year old mom. Only leaves me a couple hours an evening, no weekends, but I got blessed today so I didn't have to babysit, but my mom sent me shopping for her. They don't look at my work as work, cause I'm home. That makes it tough.

Believe me, it isn't easy, that is for sure. Now, I am on a fixed income, and it is hard to make the money stretch from month to month. There are bills that have to be paid, groceries purchased, clothes as well as other necessities. It seems that my bills end being more than what comes in at times, and it makes it hard to make ends meet that way. I am making a little online, but not enough to live on. It is just a bonus more or less. I am haoping that I will be able to make more money eventually, so that my money will stretch further than it does now. O am glad that I am making anything at all, as it all adds up in the end. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
