I'm getting really worried at this time in my life. Right now my fiance is the only one who works, he works full time making $12. an hour. We live in Los Angeles county, CA.
His salary only allows for us to pay our rent and our car payment and thats it. That doesn't include out utility bills, or phone bills, personal care items like shampoo, deodorant, tampons, diapers for our daughter and the biggest one food.
We went to our local county office and because he is the only one working full-time we are automatically denied for any cash assistance, and because he makes too much over their limits we are denied food stamps. We qualify for medi-cal and thats it.
I myself have been applying to jobs, but it seems like everywhere I go, no one is hiring but always accepting applications, or I'm not qualified for the job. On top of all that I'm trying to go to school right now and earn a degree so I can have career. I just enrolled and I was just accepted.
Anyways, I don't know what to do anymore, apartments are expensive, we can't starve ourselves so we have to buy food which means we cant make a car payment...and that means right now our finance company is hounding us, and we are doing our best to make payments even if its not a full payment, but they don't care.
Can some one give me some advice on what I should do? Do I let everything go, do I move to a different cheaper state or would I be just as screwed somewhere else as I am here? Please no mean answers, I'm looking for a solution or guidance, not to be picked on. Thanks.
