    That’s not far off for some of us. That’s about 25 bucks a month, and until about 2 years ago I was making just enough to have about 30 bucks left over at the end of the month that I didn’t spend on bills or food. Then I did fairly well for about 2 years, with about 200 bucks a month left over… Then my mom passed away 2 months ago, and since my job was being her caregiver, I’m now jobless. :/ life sucks

      I’m no expert but look into your state’s primary caregiver help. Sometimes it’s just a tax exemption but idk, may help, if you really had to give up work for long term care of a loved one! Good luck
