Hard work - little money. / myLot

Good day friends I was gone for a long time, because I had a lot of obligations. Since my son has a probationary driver's license that requires him not to be able to drive a car of more than 80 kW by himself, I drive him to the city every other day, because he goes to the gym. Of course he was driving alone, but he was caught 2 months ago and has to pay a fine of 200 euros. His probationary driver's license expires in July, so I will also be more relaxed, because he keeps protesting that I go with him. Today I feel very tired, because yesterday I went to work in the field, for money. Some here know that I spent last summer working in the fields, many agricultural jobs. Since I have been in a big problem for months due to lack of money, I accepted the job again. I left the house before 6 am and came back at 6 pm, today every muscle in my body hurts.

For 10 hours of work in a bent and squatting position, I earned 30 euros.

I'm going again tomorrow, so I'll go to bed earlier tonight. How do you deal with lack of money?

Thank you for your kind words. We never had a lot of money and I was used to a very modest life, but it became really difficult to survive.

There are other needs too except food. A person has to spend money on that also.

It's not easy to manage when you lack money. I will also be working more if I face such a situation as you are facing.

Financial freedom is what everyone is hoping. Take some pain reliever meds? I pray you’ll have the strength for tomorrow’s task. Just keep on fighting. There’s a rainbow always after the rain

That does sound like hard work. I wouldn't be able to do that now. It's a shame it doesn't pay better.

It's very hard. I've never had a lot of money, but it's getting harder and harder for me to earn.

You have not posted in awhile, and I hope that does not mean you are in poor health. You have an awful lot of responsibilities on your shoulders.

Oh my goodness Nevena, what a shame that they are exploiting you so much. 30 Euro is not enough for 10 hours work.

Even here it is hard to earn money. And for those skilled labor, there is still low pay

Any type of physical labor is hard work that is going to make you tired by the end of the day, especially agricultural work. I know it may not be a lot of money for the amount of work you do, but consider yourself blessed that you were able to find work at all.

Soon your son will be driving himself around. Your work sounds exhausting and backbreaking to me. I'm so sorry you have to do that to earn a living. Fortunately, money isn't a problem for me.

I just save what small amounts of money I make doing surveys to place in the bank for emergencies.

This is difficult. Here people receive the same amount of money for 10 hours of work.

@Nevena83 I remembered you and welcome back. When I just now saw your post I knew you were not here in a long time. No wonder you are tired because of how early you have to get up and what you have to do for work. Does your son understand how serious the sitation is for him?
