I don’t have money. Simply don’t afford life.
Thanks for listening

I just tipped in to that reality. Due to inflation. The tuitions went up so much, and so did everything else (food, insurance). I don’t like when this is the reality and I’m not even sure how to start tackling it. Any ideas?

We just keep shuffling around credit cards and loans until the big pay raise comes...

Welcome to the club.
One thing that helped me was to calculate the minimums we need to function. I.e. rent, food, paying something towards debt, paying a percentage towards tuition, not all.
Turns out we need $2,000 more a month than we are making.
That's a scary number but less scary than the freefall we were having down into debt. DH is looking into possibilities to make that much more a month.

My husband works two jobs I work FT. We still can’t make it work. It’s very discouraging
