"I can't pay my bills!" If you find yourself in this scenario, you may be living above your means, "spending more than your earn." Start by cutting out all nonessential items. Make coffee at home, make lunch at home, no eating out, enjoy staycations, no online shopping, and cook meals at home. Ok, you've done all that, and you've come to realize that you have bills and essential costs that have risen due to inflation and your paycheck is not increasing. Always guard your credit and call your Utilities, phone, credit card and other companies and notify them of your situation, most are able to set up a payment plan with you so that you can continue to pay and not get behind. Take care of it right away, continue paying to keep your credit intact.
