Surviving Budget Constraints: Seniors Making Ends Meet

With rent going up and stuff I have had to watch my budget more and more each day.

Dan and I use streaming and free services on our TV to help us watch programs. But this last month we had to cut our live streaming. Because our budget couldn’t afford it.

We get paid on the 1st, 3rd and the 3rd Wednesday. I also work several online programs to help with bills and such. Dan and I are seniors and I have to take care of him and make sure he gets to appts and stuff. I also give plasma when the need arises to help with a bill or 2.

Our rent went up to 804 this month but we have our lease for 2 yrs. Which is exciting and we are paying on time for that.. I stick to a grocery budget and depend on food pantries to help out from time to time.

We aren’t rich but I share this every gift we get comes from God our father. Without our faith in him things are going great and I shouldn’t be down but things suck at the moment. Not sure what’s going to happen but I know that I am going to work my damnest to make it happen.
