I've Sold all I can Sell...

Student Loans is what my small family is living on at this time.   The loans do not amount to much more than what a welfare cheque would be monthly - which I find mindblowing.   It is absolutley insane that thinking about how to get healthy food into the house on a regular basis is taking precedence over my studies.   I'm a "B" student and I know I could do a lot better if our basic needs were being met.    I do my level best to stay calm and try to remember it's just a temporary situation.   I've  pared down to the bone such as no cable tv, basic landline phone, hydro just under 60.00 per month, no credit cards, and no overdraft.   I don't smoke and although I'd love to go out once-in-a-while to mingle with other adults it's impossible as babysitters don't work for free.   I've sold my transportation and the only ring I had that was worth a few hundred dollars some time ago.   I've attended the food banks (which have postings that clearly say, "use at your own risk") and have salvaged what I could from the hampers that they provided.   Regrettably, their hours of operation are during my class time making it impossible for me to go.   If any of what I have written resonates with you please contact me for further discussion.
