But ... you shouldn't have to live like that. Everyone deserves furniture, clothes .... good, healthy, fresh food.I have learned credit cards are a help. If I'm a little short one month, I put it on a credit card(rewards)
You can get the ones that give a $200 bonus if you spend a certain amount the first 3 months. I put all my bills on it and get $200 back. I don't use it for anything except my bills. Or especially the month I get oil.
Property taxes really bother me. But if you are on disability, they divide them into payments. But I agree, you have to think real hard and creatively to make ends meet and then sometimes it doesn't want to work. My wardrobe is very tiny. I only buy if something wears out. I didn't have real furniture, Just cheap folding tables and chairs from Good will. One easy chair that came with the house. Just a mattress on the floor, no bed. But a roof over our head, and heat and cooling when needed. Still happy!!!!
