      @We who are about to die salute you yeah I mean I'm not hating and saying her struggle wasn't real. But look at the math. Money back then had more value. Not to say being broke still ain't hard. It's just more difficult in 2019. Esp if you don't have any skilled experience where you'd have to work as like a cashier, burger flipper, etc. But the people that grind out of those things are the ones that have more mental fortitude. My mom had her first son (oldest brother) while she was in nursing school full time and working full time. Granted my dad was in the picture. But still. Not easy things to do. These days people cave too easily under pressure. The good ol snowflake generation. And before people freak out. I am gen Z

      Agree, My husband died suddenly when my son was only 4. Thankfully, I was already a teacher by that point. Also, thankful my husband had not worked under the table and had contributed to social security. Until my son was 18, I could count on about $700-$800 a month from social security survivor's benefits for my son. That is a heck of a lot more than the $250 she is getting from her child's dad.

    Sounds like she's living in the moment which is somewhat typical when your that age. But she needs to structure her life and plan it out, not only for herself but for the little one. The man in her life would have took on that role but being a single mom she needs to organize herself. My recommendation on top of the salary increase is to start writing out 5 year, 10 year plans and following them.

      It may not be a dream for women to become single mothers, but their choices and behavior usually is whats put them in that situation. Widows and Victims are excluded.
      Women chose who they lay with and choose to produce/birth a child. There are plenty of circumstances that are out of our control but becoming a single mother(with previously stated exclusion) isn't one of them.
      Convicted criminals don't dream of going to prison but they choose to commit acts that will land them in prisons. Single mothers do the same.
      Also, a lot of people could walk in your shoes but they choose not to. Its about making smart decisions.

      Unless you actually work at home.... that's a false dream. My aunt works from home. She is still WORKING. She can't build a spread sheet while also doing her house's bills, helping her son with his homework and grocery shopping. She can't take a conference call while bleaching the bathroom, and vacuuming. Either you have a low view of what being a mother and running a house actually entails, and maybe you should consider what it takes to do it well. Or you think they're giving away money for little actual work.

      @Paul Dybala>>I'm sensing sarcasm. I only work 5 days in a pay period (two weeks). Yes, I'm not worth much when I get home in the evening at 4pm. I have help (grandparents) who take my daughter to school those days. So in the school year, she doesn't notice I'm gone at work. In the summer I get a little break from kids and she gets summer art classes, which her grandparents take her to. I am able to get the household chores done and rest on my days off. From the perspective of someone trying to do it all, I can say that "doing/having it all" isn't really possible. It's a lie that breeds dissatisfaction. I don't have the money full-time working women have. But that's OK, because I have time off. My stay-at-home sister-in-law is considering homeschooling. I don't feel I have that option. Even though I'm home 9 days out of 14, I don't think I have the mental energy to either be working at the hospital or running a homeschool, without a day off. But, I have more money than her, and can afford a private school instead.
      Saturday I picked up the niece and nephew and took them, with my daughter, to Home Depot's free kids project, bought hot-dogs for lunch and had a walk through their garden nursery. I did my house chores later while they played in the yard. After niece and nephew went home, I took my daughter to Aunt Sue's house and we cleaned for one hour. My daughter learned how to vacuum corners with the hose attachment, and pick shoes up to vacuum underneath (she is 7 years old). She and I cleaned for one hour, so she could earn $15, which is her spending money. Then I let my 15 year old cousin drive us home, so he could practice driving. We rode our bikes ALL the way to McDonalds and grocery shopping, and back again. After dinner my daughter joined a block party with a bounce house, so after a few more house chores, I stood around chatting with other parents so my daughter could play..... Obviously my day was not "efficient." But that wasn't the point of my day. We stayed off the TV all day, and that was the point. We met with the cousins, and helped Aunt Sue, and learned that money comes from work. She still can't ride without training wheels, and needs the practice. My kid will be over in the neighbors' yard again this summer, playing with their kids, so I need to get in touch again....And my point is, where is the time for me to run a business?
      I suppose a mother could work from home during the school year, while the kids are out of the house. But how is a mother supposed to run a business with a 2 year old at home? You cannot actually be watching/interacting with the kids AND thinking great thoughts. And if a woman is sitting at a desk for 5 hours a day while the kids are at school, I guess that leaves maximum 2 hours a day to grocery shop, laundry, yard work, vacuum, bleach bathrooms, pets, bills, buy/wrap birthday presents, volunteer at school/church, bible study.... No one is actually earning $100,000/year from a laptop getting free WiFi from a McDonalds play place in between changing diapers, nap time, and interrupting children. Running a business from home, or flex working from home as an employee, requires dedicated mental energy and time blocks without interruption. Which is why even women who work from home send their children to school or daycare or hire a nanny, and still pay to have their house cleaned. Women can do a lot, but not ALL.

      Do you have kids? Even if you don't, make a list of all the free activities available to you. $1 movie at the library? Free story time (if you have kids). A Park nearby? Gardening? Discount hour at the play place? Get a $1 coffee at McDonalds and use their WiFi. Read a book. After you have discovered all the free things, start doing them. You will soon realized you don't need the memberships or the $20 per person day at the zoo. If you fill your leisure time with enjoyable free activities, you won't feel deprived, you'll feel busy. Start "shopping" the curb on trash day and cleaning/repairing items for a garage sale. This isn't for making money, its for something to do. Good if you have kids, to teach them money comes from work.
      Do the same with food. Eggs are healthy and cheap. How many ways do you know how to prepare them? Do you know how to make tasty beans/legumes? Also cheap and healthy. Learn to prepare cheap, healthy food and put it on the calendar so you're making the recipes often. You won't have time to eat out as much, and this will cut in half the days you have available for eating expensive foods.
      Saving money is a game. There is a fascinating world available in books. You don't have to travel to broaden your mind, and in many ways traveling does nothing for you, if you haven't learned about the place first.
      Maybe you can cancel your cable, internet, or nice phone plan, now that you don't use them so much? Cancel your season tickets, and sell your second car. Realize you "need" less, and you don't have to be deprived. You just have to fill your days with cheaper activities.

    Ladies...you don’t have to let every man...you know what this is Dave Ramsey’s channel. She needs to get in shape, be pretty,
    Learn how to be feminine, and get a man who’s willing to take on her liability WITHOUT getting pregnant unless he marries her. 88% of millionaires are married. Women’s fastest path to wealth is marriage. DO IT!!!

      Lol yeah until he cheats on you with someone younger or is emotionally abusive or picks up gambling or blah blah blah. Women need to be able to provide on their own for their kids or they can end up stuck in a terrible situation. Heck what if your husband gets in a car accident? Always have a way to make an income if marriage falls through or if there is an emergency.

    $250/mo, while better than nothing, is ridiculous if she truly has the kid 90% of the time.
    My guess is the dad is a loser. Also, this is why I don't date single moms. Not worth it.

      An unmarried single mother is different than a divorced woman with children.. Obviously for both want to go after the father for support. But you can't lump both of them in the same basket, situations are different. Love or perceived love changes over time and people don't always pick the best partners.

      Wow. Just wow. Until you’ve been scared for your safety from your own husband and have to divorce for your own safety, you have no idea what a single mom is like. Look to your peers, sir and chide them for being terrible husbands and dads. Figure out a way to influence them and maybe then you’ll see fewer single moms out here.

I made more money than he did yet we were always broke because he had terrible money managment skills. We all make mistakes mine was picking the wrong husband. I am not a bad person.
