How do you raise a family with no money?

Question

What do you do when you don't have any money to take care of your family. Laid off from job, unemployement ran out no money, no food, no one to borrow from, no money to put in gas tank, internet about to be turned off. Rent due in 11 days. All money saved is gone. I live in Michigan.

What would you do?

Answer 1

Get the quickest job you can.  It may take a blow to your pride but fast food, grocery stores, gas stations anywhere.  Get rid of the Internet and cable and phone and all the "extras" immediately.  In the meantime try to have a yard sale to get fast money and get any job you can find until you can find something better.  Go apply for food stamps and any other assistance available.

Answer 2

Welfare office for emergency aid. Cut everything to basics: I do not even have internet myself, except through use at the library. Don't have a car either: use public transit.  Go back to having only the strict necessities  Then try those placement agencies for short term employment: that may be a real start. Do not get discouraged.

Answer 3

You don't. You are responsible for providing for your family. For that you need an income. So you have to go out and get a job.

Answer 4

if youre able bodied, call moving companies. they are always hiring movers.good pay too. or go on craigs list, get free stuff, and sellit.

Answer 5

As a last resort go work for McDonalds, go to a local church and see if they can refer you to some services at least a food pantry or something for now. Good luck.
