my mom is spending money we don't have
to make a long story short, my mom lost her 6 figure job almost 2 years ago and it was a very messy process (lawsuits were involved, etc.) and unfortunately she hasn't been able to find a new job since, only some occasional contract work from home which pays basically nothing. she's also currently going through a very messy divorce with my dad and they live separately and me and my siblings live with her.
we have no money. the only reason we aren't homeless yet is because my dad has been transferring money for rent from the money that my deceased grandpa left for my mother in his will. This money is about to run out, there’s very little left. maybe enough to cover a few months of rent and then that’s it.
My dad works as a delivery driver which also doesn't pay much but he works long hours to make ends meet, my mom doesn't really do much at the moment.
I do have a job but it also doesn't pay much but atp I get paid more than my mom and she's been asking me for financial help a lot in the last 6 months (which I don't mind helping with) . I have some money saved up but it seems like I might have to give up some of it to help with some bills.
My mom keeps ordering stupid stuff online and booking vacations that we literally can't afford. We were late with the rent payment this month as well as car insurance payments. We are behind on bills and we also have groceries and other expenses on top of that. I'm willing to help with what I can but the help I can offer is very limited.
My mom is a smart woman, she's educated and she had a good job and we never struggled with bills and money. We used to be financially stable, so this is all new and scary. Idk how much longer we can survive like this. My mom HAS to find a new job or we might go homeless before this year ends.
I just needed to vent and i’m praying we get out of this situation soon because I've been so stressed and I'm so tired of being worried about money and whether or not we will have a roof over our heads next month or food in the fridge
