I gather all my bills and started looking at the amount I owe. I owe under 8,000 but over 7,000 only 2 of the bills are over 1,000 but under 4,000. Instead of having someone throw it in my face how they are always paying the bills. I decided if my bills are due in the 1st week of the month. I will try to pay it off as long as I get to the mail box 1st. I don't want him knowing what I'm doing so he don't bitch & say well pay your own bills since you have money now. Remember I get 2 checks a month only the beginning of the month. He doesn't have in mind the names of the credit card bills I have or anything so he won't be asking if I got any bills. I should be done in a few months with the small bills. The bigger bills he would have to pay there is no way I can come up with thousands of dollars to pay it. I will save and attempt to pay it but I find it impossible.
Let's say... I pay off my bills what's next?
I guess I have to keep saving or start saving to get an apartment,but if I have a few thousands for an apartment. How do I have the government help me pay my rent? Or I'm I suppose to go down to the welfare office tell them I have to move & they find me a place & pay the rent or do they want me in the streets in a shelter to put me in a bad housing where my kids will be scare.
I'm all ears.... Let me know what to do. My husband isn't planning on changing & I don't want to be 40 living the sameway. Arguing & fighting almost daily.
I'm starting to feel sad. I want to do what's best for my kids. I know once I'm on my own I will be happy it's a matter of getting there.
