there was a time in my life when there was no way i could budget. incredibly hard to be a single parent of two children and not making enough money to "budget", trying to decide which is more important, the water or the electricity, and knowing every month i was paying more that the average joe just for the fact i didn't have the money to pay a lot of things on time which in turn led to late fees. i thank the Lord i got through that period of time. no fun worrying about how you are going to pay rent, utilities, food on the table for your kids and no public assistance, and it was especially nice when my car would break down.

you are correct. it is sad.

I just saw a few minutes of her. It was such a struggle just to talk.
