[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the people suggesting side gigs — how much are you thinking OP will clear with these gigs? Not a lot. She needs $20k. Earning $1k per month isn’t going to make much of a dent in that.[/quote]

$1k per month can cover food and utilities.

Sell stuff to come up with daycare payments for at least a month or two.[/quote]

Didn't they already sell the second car?  When folks recommend to sell stuff I wonder what they have lying around the house that will bring in anything worthwhile.[/quote]

Jewelry (yes, even inherited things.)
Designer bags, sometimes designer shoes/clothes
Recreation equipment like bikes, 4 wheelers, boats (even simple boats like kayaks.)

You'd be surprised how many people "can't afford" basics but are literally sitting on tens of thousands (or more!) in luxury items that have actual resale value.[/quote]

It's also wise to be downsizing clutter in case they end up needing to move. So win/win all around. [/quote]
