[quote=Anonymous]NP A few thought and questions for you to consider, in no particular order. If you can't afford your current place, you have to move. You'll get more for your money in the burbs than in DC. Look into how far away you can move without legal blocks. You mentioned counseling, how will you pay for that? What are your current monthly expenses and when are they due for payment? Get a notebook and write it all down. Also write what your current income is, what you NEED to buy and what you can do without. If you have cable, cancel it, change your cell phone plan to a bare bones version. Look around your house. Do you have things you and your kids don't need that you can sell, within reason of course so don't sell your children's toys unless they don't want some of them. Forget about buying organic foods. You really can't afford it when you are barely keeping you and your kids clothed and fed.[/quote]
