Sorry not to be more sympathatic, but I think there is more going on here than you are letting on. You need more help than these folks can give, some serious, institutional assistance. Depending on where you live, there are tons of homeless resources that help get you back on your feet.

Sometimes you still have to do something nice to yourself in a stressful situation, you know? Spending 5 bucks to go to the burger place down the street isn't going to really hurt our money situation.
As far as 'serious institutional assistance' give me a break. You can analyze everything we say and criticize it all, but there isnt 'more going on'. We're searching for help from all of our friends and people we know, because our past rent started happening because my wife doesn't have any health insurance and that costs out of the ass.
Thanks for your reply, even if it's in some ways insulting.
*Edit* I forgot, but everyone who has been helping including my friends in Oregon has been writing all of the money orders and checks in my landlord company's name, so there is no way I can use the cash for anything else anyway, and I wouldn't if I could. I understand you lived off of PB&J, we have just a little more because we've been going to food banks. Our food stamp case for me is pending, and we have been visiting all the churches we can. How does this mean we're doing anything wrong? If we didn't pay for Shyla's meds she would be very sick still with bronchitis that we both got awhile back.
Please ask more and be a little more considerate before you guess and jump to conclusions.
