Until then one salary easily go on childcare. The families I know both parents worked full time those of have extended family network. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, godparents they all looked after the children for one day a week to help cover the workdays. Not everyone has this kind of help.

My mum was really honest with me but she did it in the right way, she didn’t make it seem like it was my fault (because it wasn’t) but was honest that we were homeless and were going to have to stay in temporary accommodation until we moved into our private rental. I appreciate her honesty everyday, and now I know how to deal with life’s problems pretty well I like to believe!

That's exactly why so many Americans go bankrupt. Medical bills. I spent 3 hours in the emergency room for my genetic illness, I received a saline drip and pain medication. My bill came to just shy of $17,000. Luckily I have health insurance and only had to pay $175. I couldn't imagine what would have happened to my family if we had to pay the uninsured amount.

Own your mistake, fix your courses of action, and keep moving because time doesn't stop for anyone! No one is perfect. We all have ups and down. The name of the game is how smart are you and what are you doing to make sure you have more ups than downs. Learn from every mistake you make, get some grit and resilience and you will be fine. Everyone has a story. Just make sure your story is the reason you keep moving not the excuse to sit there and waddle. 🫡

Hence the reason why I don't want to ever lay a finger on any credit card, let alone possess a credit card, but that's the thing I'm facing with my bank. I kept clear of a negative balance and the overdraft limit, so they want to remove said overdraft next month and replace it with my application for a credit card, but my credit score's about as bad as it could be, so I'm not eligible for most credit cards, so I'm hoping speaking to somebody at the bank face to face will help a lot more than they helped me over the phone. If not, I'm being put on universal credit and I'm buggered so far as keeping a roof over my own head is concerned.

I watched her struggle to keep her head afloat, we were dirt poor, and ate beans for dinner sometimes, but her love for her kids kept her going. We never got school supplies, or nice things, we had worn out shoes and lived in roach infested trailers. But we survived, thank you Mom for doing the best you could even may times when you were scared to death CPS would take us.

I've always felt lucky my husband (( deceased now)) would help me in everything. He did most of the cooking, even done the dishes. In 1989 we had a baby, he took care of him like a mother would. He fixed the bottles, fixed the diaper bag for the sitter/ daycare the night before. The weekends I worked he kept the baby, took him with him if he needed to do something. Only thing he DIDN'T do was bathe him. Hubby was 43 & I was 38 when our son was born. My husband died 3 yrs ago at 70 yrs old.

You were so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. My now ex husband only changed one diaper. I only went out once by myself after the baby. When i fell ill with cancer he didn't even know what type of cancer I had. Once I divorced him I had to ask if he would watch the children he said no. That was it for me I moved home since I had no family where we lived. That was the only thing i promised him I wouldn't do but I didn't care at that point he only wanted to see them when it fit in his life. Still over 30 years later I have never had mouthed him to his children. They think he hung the moon and stars such is life. I chose him guess you have to be careful who you chose as a partner I was too young to marry or even have children live and learn.

My minimum payment on my visa next month: $130. The fees they're charging me next month: $250. And they keep offering me increases on my credit limit. They've structured it so that I'll get into deeper and deeper debt without noticing until it's too late. They don't care if I can repay it - they get the money one way or another, and profit massively from the interest in the process. If you're not careful, or don't have the skills/knowledge to look out for yourself, they'll destroy you for a few extra bucks, and there's no penalty to them for doing it. I'm really lucky to have my health, a decent paying job, no dependants, and a high level of education. My visa and student loans are unlikely to ruin me at this point. But I'm all too aware that I'm one major illness or layoff away from financial disaster at all times. There are a lot of people in the comments judging the folks in this documentary, but they shouldn't. It's easier to end up in this situation than you realize, and if you do the system is stacked against you.

The couple that took out a loan, using their home as collateral to secure the loan, to pay off credit cards makes me so sad. The credit cards (consumer debt) typically is granted with no collateral required, so if the card holder defaults it's not easy for the card issuer to collect payment. They couldn't get your house if it's your primary residence. The worst they could do would be to sue to get a lien placed against the property, but you don't have to ever sell your home to pay that loan. You choose when to sell, if ever. They wouldn't collect until you decide to sell. Whoever convinced them to use their home as collateral for a loan to pay off credit cards swindled them.

Consumers often don't realize that credit counseling companies are usually arms of the same companies that issue the credit cards.They are going to convince you to do whatever you can to pay off the cards, such as using your house as collateral to pay off consumer debt. It is the worst advice possible in most cases. Default and/or bankruptcy are sometimes the best choices for consumers drowning in debt. These counseling companies are never going to present the option of strategic default. If this couple had made that choice they may still be in their home. Default is a financial tool that big companies all over the world sometimes choose when it makes the most sense for them. That tool is also available to consumers in most cases of consumer debt. Sure, the debt collectors can drive you crazy with phone calls, but that's more tolerable than being homeless, especially when kids are involved.

We went through hard times when my first child was born. We lived on credit cards and loans, we managed not to miss a single payment but we lived from hand to mouth. After paying everything off and the hard work hubby put in at work we managed to pay everything off. After that we got rid of all our credit cards. Now if we can't afford something we just do without. Everything except our mortgage is now ours. The trap is hard to get out of but not impossible.

As a former smoker myself I know how much it cost to keep up this nasty habit. When both bread earners are smoking it's double the cost. That's a large chunk of money when you are having financial difficulties. It's the price of a car payment every month. I hate myself for being judgmental but it's hard for me to feel sympathy for people who will spend their last dime on cigarettes or drugs or an addiction while their kids are on the brink of being homeless. I quit smoking 5 years ago and I've saved so much money even though the struggle to quit was horrible and one of the worse things I've ever gone through. I've watched my aunt run to buy cigs and let her 3 kids go hungry. I've seen this scenario over and over. Why does it seem the poorest people on earth are the ones that smoke? Thank God I'm free from that addiction and I credit that making my health improve dramatically. Saying all that, I do feel really bad for the kids.

I bought some of my clothes second hand......never really took holidays overseas.....ate out only once in a while.....bought cheap cars. I scrimped and saved. I knew the mortgage rates where going to skyrocket and made extra payments with my savings beforehand. I feel sorry for these folks but you also need to take a hard look at where you spend your money.

Two years ago I was in an accident, I was walking along with my dog when an extremely fast car swerved and hit me, my leg was hanging off I could see my knee, I tried to lift my legs up, my left leg was full and I was elevated but my right leg was causing some pain, I couldn’t lift it so I thought I had broken my leg! The fire Brigade arrived followed by two ambulances, I thought the person in the car had died and that was why I had two ambulances! I was given some lovely drugs put straight into the needle in my hand! I am now a right leg amputee, the phantom pains are agonising, I can’t have a false leg due to the infection that got into my stump! I am now on PIPS; my husband has to work from home to look after me, we have lost our previous way of life we struggle, our savings are depleted, I hate feeling like a failure my husband is the best man EVER! We lost our home, thankfully the housing association gave us a fully adapted bungalow and we feel so lucky, my life is not great but I am thankful for my husband and kids!

Maria seems like a wonderful person. Very likable. A person who went to school and started their career and had a baby should NOT have to be in this situation. She did everything she was supposed to. And the big banks were bailed out instead of people like her. Btw, she seems to be a wonderful mother as well, her oldest daughter is a sweetheart.

I have $10 for food until payday in 30 days(finally found a job! :) its been months looking! I'm going to the foodbank tomorrow. those foodbanks are life savers. so is peanut butter, rice, and bananas. its decent price and high calorie enough. A cup of lentils will get you 300 calories.
