How do I manage my utility bills being a single mother?
Have a budget, dont waste energy, teach your kids to do the same. Spend less money on things you dont need. Put money aside every single week in a separate account (auto-program it- so it leaves your account before you even see it), and that way it saves up automatically and when your bill comes in you have the money to pay it. Do it weekly as it will be easier than once a month. Revisit your spending and see where you can cut. Remember things dont bring happiness. Avoid stores if you have a hard time controlling your spending. Only pay cash. Whether a single mom or not, you would live somewhere and would have to pay for utilities. If you need to find a smaller space, get a smaller car, cut expenses, there are many different ways you can save money or spend less and live within a budget. Decide on priorities. it is doable. You can do it. Get help if you have a hard time.
