I work hard and only make commission.  I pay childsupport which thankfully comes out of my paycheck.  But my problem is here lately the business is not there.  I don't want to quit because I know it is going to get better and if I do quit I will lose those clients and have to start all over again.  With the economy being low, I am starting to notice my paycheck getting smaller and smaller.  Well I over drew my account trying to get things for my kids.  My last paycheck didn't cover it and niether is this one.  My electric  bill is due and I am not goignt o have the money to pay it.  I know things will get better and I save my tips to put food on the table and put gas in the car, but that doesn't go far.  I eat at home.  I don't smoke, don't drink and still it seems that if I did do those things I would get help.  I keep hitting dead ends with churches, loan companies, etc.  I have one last option with the title to my car (thankfully I own it).  If that doesn't work I will be sitting in the dark for a while.  I guess that will be ok, but my boys will miss out on thier "mom" time as though I won't be able to keep them here with no electricity.

About 4Jamar&Jamell

Hi, I'm a new father of two. I'm 20 years just got a new job last Wednesday! My girlfriend and I (including our twins) are dirt poor. She has a job but she only makes $8 a hour and work about 16 hours a week. She gets paid every to weeks and her isn't much. Our twins were are 2 months old and they live back and forth from her mother's house to my mother's house. My new job is working security but I haven't start yet because they have to find me a organization to work at. So I'm just waiting, but I am out there looking for another job. What I mean by we are dirt poor is our situation. I got a title loan on my car and it was worth $1100. My car is gonna be towed Monday. I had a part time job at the time of the loan but it was 3 days after I got the loan I was fired. The only reason I got the loan was to provide for the kids when they came. That lasted for a short while. And now we are back at square one but we are bout to be without a car. I sleep in my car most of the time. I can't stay at my mother's house because of the fact it is a 3 bedroom trailor with my 2 sisters, 2 brothers, my grandmother, my mom, and her boyfriend. My father doesn't do anything for me and he was a dead beat dad my whole life. Life is so tough on some of us. It just seems that some of us are meant to struggle our whole lifes. I hate being poor and living out of my car having twins. Some days I don't even eat because of the fact I have to put gas in my car just to get to a job site and fill out an application and then to find out I didn't even get the job. I even thought about killing myself a few times but now I know I couldn't go through with it because I want my children to have a father, and I don't wanna put all of that on my girlfriend. I talk to God and I ask myself if God even listening to me. If anybody can help me I thank you a million times.

well...to start from the begining.  I have found myself asking for help.  I have been to salvation Army food bank, Churchs, low income houseing, friends and family.  I feel as low as I can get.  I have 4 teenagers that have been an absolute blessing to my life and I feel as if I have failed them.  It seems the harder I try and provide a better finacial security for them it seems to fail.  This will be the first Christmas that I can not even give them a gift.  I thought of making gifts but I dont even have the money to buy the supplies to make them. I put up a tree to bring some Holiday cheer, but I have no way of placing gifts under it.  Maybe I have given them fails hope.  I ask for nothing for myself...only to put a smile on my kids face.  I need help.  Is there a Santa Claus?

God don't make no mistakes

First of all,I am a God fearing man and I know that He doesn't make any mistakes. I want to thank you for taking the time to read my posting.  I am a 32 yr old divorced father of 2 beautiful little girls.  My life started to take a downward spiral in 2005.  I found out my wife of 4 1/2 years was cheating on me from the start of our relationship 6 years ago and throughout our marriage.  In addition to that I found out my youngest daughter is not mine biologically, although I will always be her father.  Upon finding out all this information I immediately filed for divorce.  By no means am I pretending to be perfect, but to this day information about her transgressions is still coming to light.  Since that time, emotionally, my life has taken a complete turn around.  However, financially I continue to struggle.  I have student loans I cannot put off any longer. I am being sued by one credit card company. With debts like that in my past working a regular 9 to 5 was not going to cut it no matter how much OT I work. So after 10 years in customer service and working for the "man" I tried to step out on faith and work for myself as an insurance agent in October 2006.  The possibility for making good money is there but I havent been able to achieve that level of success yet having to weed through "shady" companies and products.  I have been living off of my 401k and my pension accounts that I cashed in.  Unfortunately, those monies are being quickly depleted by my bills.  I feel I am more than capable of being a successfull salesperson and making good money in this industry.  My ultimate goal is to be successfull financially and help out my loved ones and other people in need.  For I know that "we are blessed to be a blessing" and after going through all that I have emotionally I have found peace in God.  I just pray that someone out there reading this is my blessing.  I know this situation, like all others will come to pass and I will be better because of it.  I am open to all ideas ie financial assistance, financial advice, employment opportunities, etc.  I have a BA in business management and a MBA in business administration. If God places it on your heart I can be reached at nspyre34@aol.com
