How can someone support four children, by only making 10 or 11.00 an hour?
Answer
As Stephen said, there is assistance out there, you just need to see if you qualify. You can apply for WIC and Food Stamps, you can apply for housing and daycare subsidies. You can also apply for energy assistance to help cover the electric and gas. Just call your local provider and ask if there is a program.
I shopped consignment and thrift stores for clothes. Only buy at retail stores when there's a sale.
We did without cable. We got channels 8, 10, and 13 and both old movie channels. Not one of the kids ever complained.
Get a landline instead of a cell phone.
Apply for Child Support for the kids, you don't have to be divorced, you don't need a lawyer, just go down to Family Court and fill out the paperwork, turn it in, ask for a copy and attend your court date. Don't forget to request medical and dental insurance coverage on the kids as part of your child support. Child support is retroactive to the day you file, so if you are not receiving it, go do that Monday.
Have dinner on Sundays at Moms, lol.
Make sure your car is paid for so you don't have that payment and you aren't required to carry Comprehensive on your insurance.
Pre-plan where your income tax return will get you the best savings....know where that money goes because it's so hard to come by a lump sum these days. If Bobby plays baseball, set that money aside for when the season starts.
I wish you luck, dear,
and God bless you and yours.

Answer
I don't have garage sales unless I have a ton of stuff to put out. I'm a huge garage saler but don't even bother stopiing if there isn't much out there. Most of m items I kept under $2 unles it was still new in box or something...I'd sa 1/2 of what the retail value was. I also did boxes where everything in one was $1 or another was all .50. All hanging clothes one set price. Makes it easier on you and the customers and give a good deal when the buy multiple items but don't get ripped off by cheap skates.
