I can't afford life, I don't know what to do

I earn a pretty good wage for the last 5 years or so. but I am a SP to a teen and a tween and I haven't always. over the years I have added to the mortgage and bought things on HP to pay for maintenance and washing machines, dryers etc. it has caught up with me. I have about £10k in loans and I am at my £2k overdraft limit and it's only the 9th of the month, 3 weeks until pay day.

I don't think we are extravagant, and my eldest works part time and funds herself mostly. it is pretty much just household bills and credit payments!

WTAF am I going to do??

PIP aren't liars but they do make mistakes.

No need to make disabled people feel worse by speaking as if the agency designed to help them is out to get them. They get a hell of a lot right, and yes, it's awful when you're one of the ones they make a mistake with, but you're very much in the minority.

I have no sympathy with anybody on a good salary that lives beyond their means. There are plenty of people visiting food banks who would love to have had her opportunities.

Yes, but that doesn't give you the right to be nasty. Says a lot about you.

Any need for you to judge and be horrible to others!
