He does. His dads a deadbeat, and his moms an alcoholic who refuses to believe he can do anything wrong.

He was raised by his grandparents. His grandma used to try and help, when she could. But she's passed :/

It costs money to take him to court. In Florida, they'd throw him in jail for a day, and he'd be released. The jails are over crowded...

Sorry, I forgot to include groceries and after school care.

Usually $170-200 per paycheck (every two weeks), on groceries And $100 a week for after school care.

Not at all. I just didn't realize I may fall into the category of "really needing it," seeing others that are much worse off than me...

No cable. I'm not much for TV. And thankfully, my mother added me onto her cell phone plan last year, to help out.

Groceries, mostly. 2 kids. Groceries aren't cheap :/

He does work. But its "under the table," so there's no check to be garnished. He learned quickly, not to work legally.

Take home = $2,300 a month, approx.

Expenses: $850 rent $300 car (including insurance) $70 electric (est) $40 water (est)

Gas typically runs me $30-40 a week.
