Your kids must be spoiled rotten or you are spending some money. Is it you that wants the money? He has his bills and his girl (if he has one) and all his wants and needs. If you have a job, your kids are fine.

Your story breaks my heart, and the sad thing is, so many people across the country have a similar story. People today have not been properly taught to manage money. It's also pretty difficult since cost of living increases have risen exponentially and pay at most jobs has increased minimally if at all.\n\nCredit cards are a very dangerous thing. My best advice is to cut spending to a minimal. Cut out the things you don't need. Make out a monthly budget for you and your family and stick to it as best you can. Allow for emergency and a little for entertainment, but be careful about spending more than you need to.\n\nIt's OK to rely on family and friends for help. Ask people to babysit for you when you need them to. Have them help you look for a new, better job.\n\nIt's going to be an uphill battle, but you can do it. You have to for yourself and for your kids. Good luck. :-)

You obviously have more money than sense. So, just let them go on spending until they spend more money than your wife.

Haven't you realized there is nothing in this world for free!  You need to start saving 10% of your monthly income.  It may not get you out of poverty but it can help you keep your head above water.  STOP!!!!   Worthless buying and make sure you are solely concerned about necessities right now.  You can worry about luxuries when you get your feet on the ground.  I have been struggling with the same situation and I am taking it slow and steady that is what will get you through.  Keep your head up and good Luck!!!

If its a gift exchange where you only buy one present, then perhaps you should ask your group to establish a spending limit. I would say $20 and under would be fine!

they are bang out of order, i only have a bank account because the child benefit agency and tax credits lot want to pay into an account!!!\nand as the money is for my kids i wanted to keep it separate from our main account. I don't want to have to pay for my account as it would come to a large sum over a yr as not that much gets paid in to start with

You are an ambitious teenager. That's great. Saving, what a smart idea. Ask your mother or father to bring you to their bank to set up a savings account for you. I had a luney tunes account at the bank, thought it was the coolest thing. Work to earn your money and put it in the bank when ever you accumulate a good amount ($40-$60). Convince your parents how nice it would be to have their house cleaned from top to bottom every week, and how much  you want to do it in order to save money. Talk to your father, I think they are more interested in your financial situations. Remember, you will be saving from now until the day you retire (house, vacation, new car, Christmas gifts, the list goes on..). Now is a great time to start.\n\nOh, and please dont fall for these silly, fake "online money makers". Get out and do it the old fashion way, like your supposed to.

Could you provide a little more detail please? The approximate amount that you are short by?\n\n\n\nOne good way to start is to start saving. That sounds very obvious, but please hold on. In the US there is not much emphasis placed on saving, no one teaches you how to save. Small things go a long way, for example a coffee everyday costs you $100 a month depending on where you live: so dropping that habit saves $100! And its good for your health and heart. Smoking is another example, but unfortunately its harder to let go. \n\nSaving on fuel: try using the bus for medium distance commutes. Its not bad, trust me! I take the bus to work everyday. I get my commute done in $40 per month.\n\nYou pitched in to help your family, so its time for them to help you back. Don't hesitate to ask them to babysit your kid once in a while. That I believe saves a lot. If they don't, or if you think they are neglecting your kid, its time to break that parasitic relationship.\n\nTry looking for a job that permit you to work from home, so that you don't need a babysitter. Anything that involves typing for example. But beware of internet job sites, a majority of them are hoaxes. For example, the secret-shopping thing is a hoax 99% of the time. If an offer sounds too good to be true, it is probably not true. \n\nIf you have a kid old enough to do math, it is good idea for you and him/her to let him/her calculate your credit vs. debit everyday. Initially it may be cumbersome and more tiring than doing the darn thing yourself, but it pays off in the long run. Maybe you can ask him/her to sit down while you are cooking, and you recall today's expenses and earnings. He can enter them in two columns, add entries in each column and subtract to give nett daily savings. My mom did that to me :-)\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AtScV0GM2DTZVRGW1tmxxuYezKIX?qid=1006050319925\nlooks to be a professional answer.

Do what's best for your kids first and what meets your financial needs. Follow your heart with respect to the rest of it and see how things work out. Sounds like you have an amicable understanding of each other so who knows, this could be a good thing more than you realize.

Please keep your money in your own home town. Most of those that you see on TV only give a percentage of your money to some child somewhere. Something like 40%. I guarantee there is a hungry child right in your own neighborhood. Talk to a local Christian Church and they can help you "adopt" someone close to home.
