We do every thing we can to try to budget our money and make it stretch through each pay period, but sometimes unexpected things come up. We have a range of options to patch any gaps and pay bills when they come up, like payday loans and pawning some of our jewellery. It's always a battle, but one way or another, we seem to find a way to keep paying the rent and keep the cupboards full of food. This blog is for normal working families like us who need to stretch out every dollar and find ways to pay for things.
