things are getting much worse

Times are already tight, and things are getting worse.
Whereas my hubby use to make good money, a couple weeks ago that all changed. He use to bring home at least 700 per week, and now even making 500 is a challenge. I just don't know where to turn. I have so many bills to pay, house payment is so high. I think about it and I just bawl my eyes out.
When, and will things get better?

Hi Totally, things are getting harder and harder for everyone. I feel so sad about it too. Our price of gas, or food or just the basics keep going up. I just read in the paper about the amount of foreclosures on homes and it is scary. I wish I had a magic wand to wave away all of your worries. Just do the best that you can and try to keep your faith.
Sending you some light..

I am going through the same, I am the bread winner in my home and for three months have been off work unpaid. Fighting my employer (the government). I can not refinance or skip a payment on the mortage, I have maxed out and am overdue on all my credit and I am not even makeing the minimum on my uitilites.
I don't cry and yesterday, taht is all I did. I feel like I am going to be sick jsut thinking about it.
There should be relief set up for middle class working people when the safety net falls through. I know it is called insurance. I was just getting by after a sloppy and costly seperation I couldn't afford that. If I one the lottery tomorrow I would set up a fund that poeple can apply to when they hit a financial snag.

Totally, it seems things do get worse. I am in a similar situation and I finally got a job to help with bills. Then I got sick, battery went dead in car had to replace etc... seemed like everything was getting worse. Then I realized that I am a child of God and he will supply all my needs. Maybe not my wants but my needs. I still cry and ask why sometimes but so far I still have a roof over my head and my family hasn't went hungry so I just have to start looking at what we have and not what we don't have. Yes, things will get better but sometimes they have to get worse. When you hit rock bottom the only place left to go is UP!!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
