Reply #33: We live in a lower COL area than most of y'all. (m) [View All]

[C.C.D.]

I'm a single parent now, was an unmarried homemaker before, so a few years w/o work history going on here. For more than a year we lived on $2,500 (from the EITC!) and, well, you can imagine how that went. $2,500/yr is not much. I just recently found a 10/hr a week service job. So here I am, raising a child on less than $300/mo!! I'm supposed to get child support soon, the $175/mo there would really help.

We live in an older trailer house, paid for with a leased lot. I don't have a car note. I grow a large organic vegetable garden in the backyard. I don't have any expensive vices. My only real "luxury" spending is my Tithe. I will pay it until I can not.
