You have put it just right Myrtle. All I want is not to have a sinking feeling every morning when I wake up,"How am I going to get this paid today?"I feel awful, knowing that my husband and I cannot help our daughter out, if her car is written off. She is not able to get fulltime work, unless she gives up the place she is at now, and she is really happy there.
All any of us really want, is to get up in the morning, and know that we have enough funds to get through from one day to the next,instead of debt hanging over our heads, and pulling us down ever further. My husband hasn't had a new pair of shoes for at least eight years now, and we are getting to the stage where he will have to have a couple of pairs soon.But because of the diabetes, he has to have good quality, and that costs.
We are very fortunate that we do not have the costs of incontinence to bear, but there are many here that do;you need a lot of income just to get through each 24 hour period for washers/driers, and clothing and bedding, plus creams etc.This is without the normal costs of living.When you break it all down, it is a wonder that Carers and their carees manage to carry on at all.
