Tired of never getting ahead in life.

Support

Is anyone else utterly exhausted of the never ending fight just to stay ahead of bills etc.?

I had to leave my job a few weeks ago due to stress, burnout and other health reasons. Until that point we were doing ok, mostly caught up on bills, but since then the house of cards has, yet again, fallen down. I got an email today saying "Hey, call us because you are $600 behind on payments" (we were 1 month behind when I left my job, now we are 2 months behind) and just yesterday as my wife was leaving work our car started to vibrate/shake and the check engine light goes between a solid yellowish colour to a blinking yellowish colour. My wife reminded me this morning that she only has a week or so left before she needs to refill her diabetic medication which costs around $150 per month.

After our car insurance payment comes out we do have a few hundred $ in the bank at least, but with this bill payment and whatever is going on with our car....well, who knows....

I am just so tired of doing as much as I can and never getting ahead.
