We moved to Yarmouth, ME from NJ and it took a while for us to find jobs so our finances suffered. We are working now, but we need money to help us have a base to pay rent and other bills that we weren't able to pay before because we couldn't find jobs fast enough.

Well, the 'rents did the best they could. I was a Navy brat and we moved often. There was an incestuous perv in the family but I lucked out there. The trouble started in high school...I was a lonely child...LOL

Listen, you ignorant republican. I am a teacher in inner-city Philadelphia. I am having a hard time making ends meet. I have NO children, I could not pay off a loan (I am paying off college loans.) What's your next suggestion, GW?

Until very recently I worked 50-60 hours/week at what was considered a decent hourly rate, yet barely managed to get all of my monthly bills paid.  Let me assure you I am not one of those people who buys the latest anything.  I don't eat out, get my hair/nails done, have expensive hobbies or vices.  It was the mortgage, utility bills (no cell phone), car insurance, health insurance, etc.  The only time my credit cards came out was for emergencies (car repairs, animal to the vet, etc.)  There was just simply nothing left at the end of the month to save.  I was literally one paycheck away from going under.  Finally, I couldn't take the stress anymore.  I sold my house for more than twice what I owed on it and moved to another state where things are not as expensive.  Paid cash for a house.  Paid off my credit cards and burned them in the fireplace.  Started my own business.  I am now, for the first time in my life at age 40, in a position to start saving.  If I had stayed in my old situation the rising cost of fuel and groceries alone would have buried me by now.

That's sweet!  Where did you move to and where from?  Are you there for good???  If so you should try to get out and make friends!  Easy for me to say...I know!

It is a very tough situation. And sadly there are no easy answers. I'd would at least try to speak with your children on the phone and see how they are doing.\nTry not to be too picky with work, and if you do get a job try and get at least a used car; yeah I know about used cars but if you are in a tight situation including $$$$$ then you should go with what you can afford. \nIn regards to living samething start small and then work your way up, rent or room-mate with someone for the time being.

The job situation sucks in Norther Il right now.  I am from Freeport and we had to move south of Joliet to find work.  Chrysler was hiring not to long ago, also, isn't there Green Giant in town.  I had trouble finding a job down here after my husband moved us down here, but I did a job spell and I got three job offers in one day.  I take it from your profile though that spells aren't an option for you.  I guess pray to God or whoever and see if they will help you.

This was thoroughly and exhaustively researched by a Canadian couple, 2 years ago - (whose interests included schools as well as general quality of life /work/amenities etc.  They came up with the answer: COLCHESTER Essex.  They DID move there - and were very happy with their choice.  (No, I don't live in Colchester!)

Lots of decent places in USA to do that. Most of them are in economically depressed rural America. Heck, I am in Nebraska and there are places where you can buy Huge houses on Acreages for under $50,000. There are not any jobs there unless you are a farmer...but the property is cheap!

I have been looking for sometime, now and I cannot seem to find anything legit.  It seems that you have to work for a place 1st and then negotiate working from home-which does not really help us now, does it?\n\n\nI totally wish you luck-like I said, I have been looking.  Did you try the craigslist.com for your area?? it didnt do me any good (at least not yet) but maybe you might find something!

We are constantly searching for something exciting. I guess thats why we move. Sometimes its other factors like a job etc. Me, where I am is where I wanted to live.

Instead of getting a new job, why not start a small home based business. Check out my company if you want more info. I live in CA, but i do have associates in the NY and Jersey area.

i went to job corps in sept 2001, it was an experience. i attended Flatwoods in Coeburn west virginia. i was a 21 high school graduate and some college and a three year old. i went to get away from everything that was going on in my life to find some directions and sort out what i wanted to do with my future. well it is really a "what you make it" kind of situation.  because there is kids there from all types of areas, family background, and dealing with different situations. it is kind of structured. i mean if you dont have a high school diploma then you go to school then to your trade. if you have a high school diploma then you go to your trade all day, and/or college. you go to lunch at certian times, but breakfast and dinner is all at once and by choice. you do have liberty on weekends to stay up late and go to other job corps for dances or to the movies or skating. you have to pay for this out of your allowance. the worse part is the interaction from some of th e students is not always positive. there is a lot of fights and arguements some times. i had to fight twice to prove myself and after that i didnt have to anymore. so just keep in contact with your boys, send them monthly items like magazines a little money, snacks, and personal items so that they dont have to spend save up 30 dollar checks every two weeks or borrow.

I moved to Canada many years ago, since I figured that it would be easier to get into the US from here.\nI was lucky, I never made it into the US, and today you could not pay me enough $ to make this move. They are good neighbors, and it is a nice place to visit, but living there full time, no thank you.

A neighbor knocked on our door a couple of months ago...no one we had met before, but she pointed down the street and said 'I live over there.'  She asked for gas money because she had to go rescue family from hurricane weather.  I'd have turned her away, but my husband gave her twenty bucks.  He said, "Anyone who has the guts to knock on the door and ask for money needs it more than we do."  We don't have lots of money, and she never paid us back, though she said she would.  We never expected it, anyway.

Cost of living rates do vary from state to state, or should I say region to region. When I lived in Boston, Mass, I paid $680/month for a 2 bedroom apartment, and made $9.00/hour as a clinical assistant at an HMO. I moved to South Carolina, and they were willing to pay me $6.5/hour to do the same job, but only if I became certified as a nurse's assistant. At the same time, a 2 bedroom apartment could be had for around $400.00/month. The housing costs here are very varied, depending upon the area. We've had a major growth in population and industry over the past few years, and the cost of living has changed also. I paid about 3/4s of what my sister paid for her house outside of Boston, Ma, and I have more land, and more square footage. It's all relative. As to ebay, it's all about capitalism. Is it fair that I can purchase something for $20.00 and then sell it for $30.00 to someone who lives in a rural area with no Wal-Mart? I guess that it all comes down to the old notion of supply and demand. If I want something badly enough, I will pay whatever is asked for it. That is what capitalism is all about. America, ya gotta love it.
