Hey Sur! It's me again! Melissa

Hey Sur! It's me again. I am having some serious issues here, and I think I asked you the wrong questions the last time I wrote.

I hate to bother you so much, expecially since I know you've had a lot going on in your personal life, lately. I am so stressed out, though, that I'm making myself sick over this.

I told you last time that my birthday is 08/09/77 and Larry was born 7/11/70. He's lost his job and I am on unemployment. We're having a lot of money issues and there are a lot of personal things going on right now, to.

Well, our last rent check bounced. If things stay the way that they are, we cannot afford to keep our appartment anymore. We've been talking about alternatives, and have a few in mind.

These are our options.

We can try to hang in here a little longer, but I hate the idea of being evicted. I've just about convinced myself that we CAN'T stay here, but my boyfriend thinks that this is what we need to do. (Our appartment is $529/month + utilities)

We can move into my sister's 3 bedroom house with her and her three kids, but all three kids will then have to share a bedroom (We have two cats and they have a dog.) It's a small house. (Our share of the rent would be $275, but we would be paying half of everything and half of everything for six people is more then all of everything for 2)

We've found a house on land contract that we think we can afford on my income, for a while at least. The problem here is the neighbors who are very scary and very assuming. Also, this house is in A town, but it's a small one and we would have to commute to find work. (About $400 + utilities.)

No matter where we live, getting him a job has to be a priority. He's looking but not as hard as I think he should. I'm at my wit's end and cannot stand being this depressed. Please give me some advice, because this is really effecting me mentally.
