I’m in the same situation. I’ve started doing avon on the side but to be honest it takes a while before anything starts coming in. It’s a good idea though.

Same boat too with illness in family & resignation to apply for carer’s pension. Perhaps think of market research places, mystery shopping, surveys? Good luck 🙂

It is so tough. I’m in the same vote. Just when I think I’m getting on top of things another big bill hits. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever get easier

Budget have a book we all know when around our bills are due so write it all down I do pay to pay and I have have the year written up as I know what comes when and what we have for petrol , milk which pay I need to buy dog and cat food every thing and it also lets you see where if you have to you can rob from peter to pay paul without getting your self into trouble. But you need to follow you budget and commit to it I have worked this way all my life and still do

I dont know if all banks have it/do it but the bank of queensland has a bill paying account and they will sort everything out for you, everyone I know who go thru them love it, and no longer stress about when bills have to be paid by, look into it good luck

could ypou try tupperware of avon on the side .

I feel you. I am in the same boat. I have three degrees one being a registered nurse, I have four kids under 6 years and I am single. I went back to work but with the shift work the child care fees, plus before and after care fees were killing me, I was working to pay the babysitter. I think that there should be greater assistance with child care for sole parents. The government needs to help people especially people without family to help out get back into the work force. I could work and would if I could get a 9-2pm job but where are they?
I get assistance from salvos and vinnies every three months just to take some stress off with bills. They are also great for helping out when you really can’t spread the dollar the whole way round. Good luck keep your head up its not worth worry about too much because someone will always help you if you put your feelers out. I have a girlfriend that is in my shoes and we bounce off each other helping each other where we can.

Having the same problem 🙁
