Well its full time i guess. But 10-15 hours a week isnt enough money at 9 an hour. It is impossible to live on that, like i said my rent alone is 420 and that is the cheapest rent in town. That leaves less than 200 for all my gas phone and food

There's really only one way to look at all this Joe. You have to ask yourself "what would Mike do?"....

What about moving back in with your dad until you get on your feet again?

Mike

Man, I'm reading these last few posts and feelin all the pain.
I'm self employed contractor myself, and have barely been able to keep up with my bills until now, I just got a promising new client that should be sending me alot of work.

Slayer, it's none of my business but if you sell your car you may regret it later.

I know, I have sold many Camaro's,Classic Resto's,etc. due to hard times in my life and ALWAYS regretted it.

Alot of times it seem's like answers only come in part.

Like a part time job that doesn't cover all your needs.

But it seems to me that the full solution usually only comes after we have done EVERYTHING we can in our power.

Alot of times it's just about living to fight again another day.

Don't listen to me though, I always took the easy way out and sold my muscle cars.
