[quote=Anonymous]PP here. I'm not dishing on you for the cc. I've been broke and had to use it too. But, what about that one-bedroom? Can you get a studio? What about moving into shared housing with another single mom? This is what I meant by sacrifice. It's about cutting into the needs. I'm not trying to lecture, but you asked how those of us who have been in your situation (and worse) made it out. We did it by re-evaluating what we truly needed and then we cut into bone. I slept on a lazy boy in someone's living room for a year once. I've eaten beans and rice for weeks on end. You've already made the easy choices, which are to buy nothing for yourself. If you want to get ahead, it's going to take more than that. Yes, earning more would help, but for now you have to live on what you have. If you could get your housing costs below $1000 a month, and you bank the difference, you have a real shot at digging out. [/quote]
