It's been a rough couple of months, My father bought a car and I am to be paying him back, but then shit hit the fan. My fiance was hospitalized for a week because of his heart condition, our toilet broke and is piped oddly so we'll have to call someone out to fix it, and the fiance's sister is moving in within the next 2 weeks because he's afraid she'll commit suicide because she had no where else to go. I'm struggling just to pay bills and I'd like to be paying my father off for the car. So of course, I'm considering a second job.

My current job is great and I love it. It's Mon - Fri, 8am - 5pm. Which will make finding a second job hard, because they'll have to work with my schedule. My fiance is against the idea, stating he's working on a game that, when finish, will make us money. I tell him that doesn't solve any issues now, and (I don't tell him this) that's IF he finishes it, and IF it sells; neither are guaranteed.

Wish there was a surrender button..

Can't your fiance find a stable job while working on this game of his?

Unfortunately, he has a serious heart condition, and ocular migraines, which temporary make him slightly blinded. So he's unable to drive, and the few companies that may hire, find any fault to dismiss him once as they learn his medical problems (they don't want that kind of liability to deal with).

It's so unfair how the job market is to people with any kind of health concern. I have depression and anxiety so I really need to get my sleep, at least 8 hours a night most days of the week. It's impossible for me to get to sleep and sleep 8 hours when I know I have to work at 8AM the next morning, so I can really only work an 8-hour day every other day of the week, preferably no more than 2 eight hour days a week if I want to stay healthy. I am SO thankful I've finally found a job with a COMPLETELY AWESOME boss who schedules me 8-hour days on Tuesdays and Thursday and works me evening 4 1/2 hour shifts another 4 days a week. It's enough for my bills and a little extra and I am so happy with it, even though I still have anxiety and depressed over having to come in, I'm happy once I'm here and properly caffeinated, lol. It took me a long time to find this job and I've been here almost a year now. I can't believe I've been here this long - I never thought I'd find anything and I was getting close to thinking about bankruptcy. My long, rambling point is that things will get better. Just when you're at your wits' end, things will turn around. Hang in there!

Hey! I'm sorry to hear you have such bad luck lately, but do you happen to have a budget made up by any chance? When I first moved out, money was crazy tight and I went through ALL of my expenses and made a budget to the exact penny of how much I needed to make every 2 weeks on my check. It's a great way to see where you can try to cut costs. Not sure where you live, but I find Ad Matching at Walmart for groceries helpful, along with using any coupons you can get your hands on, and they also have apps for your phone that allow you take a picture of your grocery receipt and get money back on select items for the week.

The most helpful thing right now is to budget for groceries. Only buy what you absolutely need and get things that are on sale. You can make multiple meals with things like rice and hot dogs, for example.

My fiance is the only one with a job. I'm trying to get a job, but no one has taken me so far. I don't know what it is. I think I have good interviews, and then it's like nope, we found someone else. It's taking a toll on my self-esteem to keep on getting rejections.

But, I really hope you have better luck than me in getting another job if you choose to.
