Changes are coming

After we had that scare a few months ago we realized that Chris' job isn't cutting it anymore especially since his company merged with another company. He now gets paid on the 10th and 25th of every month. That is scary because we are trying to figure out how and when to pay rent. We realized that we needed to make a change financially especially where we are the point where we have to decide between paying our rent and feeding our kids. It shouldn't have to be this way. Unless you have been in our shoes and you have to decide between those two then don't say anything negative. We want our kids to have better. We haven't even did anything this summer because we have been focusing on taking care of our bills and catching up. We don't have any extra money to do anything. Even though I am getting more hours at work it still isn't enough to pay rent so we have to depend on Chris' job which doesn't make enough. So Chris decided to go for his life insurance license. We need to make more. Today would be his second time taking the test; I just hope he pass because we need to do something. We both work hard and it never seems to be enough. Yeah our job as adults is taking care of our bills and not have the easy way out but I know a lot of people that don't see it that way and do have the easy way out. We don't want to be in this situation anymore, we don't want to be struggling this hard anymore. When you have to make a decision whether to have a place to live or food on the table then you have to make a change somewhere. We take care of our bills on our own but we don't have any extra money to do anything else. So hopefully later on today or tomorrow I will have good news. We just can't go on like this anymore!! We want to go on vacations and get a house and we feel like we can't do both unless Chris changes careers. We want to do better financially!
