Realistically, how much money do you need to come out of the hole you're in? What amount of money would fix all your problems, at least the urgent ones?
I would say, about 7k or round it up to 10k . That's what separates me from where I am now and mental stability hahaha.
If you have an indifferent or bad relationship with your in laws, do you think that is the reason why they are absent grandparents and uncles?
I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and maybe they can't get over the fact that the grandkids are 50% our DNA, or maybe they think that we will constantly hold the relationship with their grandkids over their heads as some sort of power move.
Maybe they stay away to avoid drama? Am I the only one in this situation?
My laptop broke and I don't even know what happened. One minute it was OK, and then it wasn't. I have no money to buy another one or fix this one.
It's exhausting to constantly have to stay on a tight budget, worrying about how every little thing can impact you tremendously, having no backup plan, and always being nervous about what may happen next. You just have to take it. It's demoralizing.
