A) sell the truck and start walking. b) get a full time job, not 2 part times. You'll end up paying double in taxes at the end of the year. c) get a room mate to help with the rent, or get a cheaper place.

Get better jobs. I make over $2k in a week......better opportunities are out there, IF you are willing to work for them!

Ummm basically be more energy efficient use less lights and just stuff like that you can split them into payments so you don't have to pay it all at once and if you need more help you can ask for help from the government.

Cut back on expenses you not need. Smaller or a used truck or car will require a savings in insurance. Find smaller place to rent, thus not pay $700 monthly rent. Child support can be possibly changed if go back to courts and request an earnings reduction.

$1510 + $600 ------------------ $2110.00 You need to work ful time and make at least $3000.00 a month, otherwise it's time to sell the truck and get a room-mate...

Not necessarily in this order: 1. Look for a less expensive place to rent 2. Sell the truck 3. Ask the court to lower the child support 4. Look for a job that pays more.

Well, first off, how many children are you paying on? If it is only one, you really need to ask for a modification as it is apparent your paying more then you can afford. Second look into other insurance carriers until you find something cheaper. Sale the truck and get a more economical car. Then, try and move to somewhere more affordable or get a roommate.

You don't have to git rid of the truck. Just try to find cheaper insurance. Find yourself 1 real full time job. You may even want to consider a roommate. That would cut the majority of your dwelling expenses in half.

Go read "the automatic millionaire ". But right now, you probably need to get that child support revised.
