Did you spend more than you should this month? What happened? A roof over everyone’s head should be priority. Do you have things you can sell on fb marketplace to get some money fast? Ask friends and family? Don’t make this a habit!
Electricity companies normally have payment plans, so I sometimes use this and make a small payment towards it and enroll in a payment plan to give myself the extra money needed to pay rent or I make the absolute minimum payments on things like credit card bills and what not to give myself even more “extra money”. I’ve also started buying cheaper things, like parents choice baby wipes because they are 10$ cheaper than Huggies and work just as good, or off brand items like body wash and food, so i don’t spend as much to have extra for my rent. Rent is always a number one priority aside from things your baby/children need to survive.
Talk to your landlord so they know what’s going on and then figure out a budget so it doesn’t happen again
