Is everyone else struggling as much as me?

Question

I am a waitress at a franchise restaraunt in Madisonville KY, and my husband is currently unemployeed do to unforseen circumstances. I am currently driving a gas hog from h**l, SUV!! I can't sell it and I can't trade it in for another year. So all the money that I make everynight goes into my gas tank, and since the foodstamp office seems to think that I make to much for foodstamps so I also have to buy groceries whenever I make enough money to buy gas and food. It just seems like every since Bush got in office the economy has went to ****. I mean don't start bashing me because I said something bad about Bush, I am not even into politics and I couldn't even tell you which party is what. I mean gas is friggin $4.00/gallon! To get your groceries nesseciaties its like $50-$80! How is everyone getting through this horrible time?

I need help, any suggestions. . . .

{Please don't tell me to get a second job because I am already working 60 hours per week.}

Answer 1

First I would like to say,  I am sorry you are in this situation. But I see others everyday in the same place..  I just quit my job because between day care and gas, lunch I couldn't make ends me, So me and Hubby decided it's best for me to stay home during the summer when the kids are home..

   as far as the gas going down I don't see that happening for awhile.. I will not get into why not to blame Bush.. I wish the best for you and your family..

Answer 2

well i cant say i'm going through the exact same thing as you because i'm not. i agree with you on the bush part and yes it is a very horrible time. you should take some time for yourself and rest just a bit.. and if you can sell that gasoline chugger then do it and get a car that doesn't take your whole paycheck. just wish you luck.

Answer 3

you're not alone, there are people with much worst situation than your's but they're not giving up. I guess you'll just have to minimize your grocery...
