Im feeling quite low at the mo. Im currently on income support, Im privately renting, which council pay for. I receive CTC and CB too. I get by fine, but that's the problem, Im just getting by.
Before dd, I was full of ambition, hoping to make a career and earn loads of money etc. The usual life dream. Ive always wanted to get a mortgage on a house, and have a nice car etc. (and I know how hard it is to be able to buy a house these days!)
I feel like Im going to be stuck like this for the rest of my life. I cant afford to buy a car, or even keep one if I did. I dont work because Im on income support. But if I wanted to get off that, then Id have to work full time but I dont want to do that til dd starts nursery, and shes not even 2 yet!!
Can someone give me some inspiration or something, as it makes me feel so depressed just thinking about it, as I feel like Im going to be like this forever
