What would you do if you had 2 children and a wife and you only made $50 a week?

happybeanstalk

I dont know, there is really no way around it : ( You dont have ssn and you cant get a well paying job, your kid cant have free health care. Maybe immigrate elsewhere?

There is no point of complaining the gov is unfair. U should plan well and earned enough $$$ before u are married. U know that u need $$$ to raise your family..
What u can do now is to put the children into the cares of your relatives, u and your wife both have to go woking. U need to find a job which gives your more salary.. If your education level is the problem, go to get a useful certificate. Do whatever u can do find a well-paid job, so u can enjoy more time with your family in the coming years.

Anther choice is to apply incentives and get help from the gov.. Try your luck lol

duh, get a better job!

I think you should get more than one job. Or, if possible, take night classes at a college to have the qualifications for a better job. Try and get food stamps and financial aid from the government if you can. Make sure your kids' teachers know that you can't afford the supplies, and ask it they can be given to your kids. I am not here to make racial slurs, I understand that life is very hard in this country, especially if you are foreign. Good luck and take care. =)

If you make $50 a week in Mexico you will need to make $500 a week in the USA to not be able to afford the same things.

barbaradjt

do what you have to... Who cares what others think,

Kill myself!! No really if it is in reference to you and your not working, you are able to afford to be on the internet, right? I would do what ever it takes to make or help my family survive. I wouldn't stand on street corners waiting for hand outs. Those people that do that should be out finding work instead of trying get money from people that are working.

It's all about cost of living, Alberto.

haterade

They shouldn't have had kids in the first place. Why should we be held responsible for other people's bad choices?

You do what you have to do to survive, for your family to survive.

Well, it isn't really fair is it? Those evil men made the strawberry machines to make the most brutal field picking fruit even worse. How beautiful, life it is.

johnnguyen365

Dang, that's tough. You don't live in the US do you? That would be illegal to make that much a week. That's just simply tough, I don't know what to tell you.

Franchesco

well if i was you making 50 dollars a week isint that good if i was you i would get a job as a waiter or waitress
at least they pull in nearly triple what you make now in the same time working
its the best idea i can give you buddy

First, I'd quit having babies until I was able to afford them! And if you are from Mexico, you need to gather in the millions in the streets and make your demands to YOUR government, not ours. You can change things in your country, just like the Americans did during the Revolutionary War. Illegally entering this country and stealing services from the American taxpayers is not the answer, changing the corrupt ways of the government in your country is the way. I have no racial slurs for you, I have half-Mexican cousins and a full Mexican aunt. I just think it's time you stood up for yourself in your own country and it's time for illegals to quit invading our country. Like I said, dude, don't have kids until you can afford them.

sell your $ 2000 dollar computer

Like the song says, "I Will Survive."
And by the way, whom ever this is I wish them the best, and may they reach that bright shining star that will someday be theirs.

akablackbetty

get a better paying job, stop having kids, put your old lady to work.it takes two people working, to make a living. and your getting food stamps and free medical, so what are you whinning about?is your drug habit more than 50.00 a week?

auntb93again

I suppose I'd be tearing my hair out trying to figure how to make ends meet. But your point is well taken. The only way Mexicans make it here is that they work together, and help each other. You have teenagers working full time or part time and taking the paycheck home to mama INTACT. You have kids who understand that it's OK for their clothes and their toys to come from thrift shops, and count themselves lucky that they have clothes and toys. And you have people working two or three jobs; a Mexican-American friend of mine is working two part-time jobs and ALSO going to school. And she's not particularly unusual in that. She lives with her mom and little sister (Dad's dead), and she does everything she can to help. They don't force her; it's just natural to her.

get a better job, rise up against the government (the home government, not the neighboring one) and fight for a better way of like, the same way our ancestors did.

Frendlygal

Sorry,I am a female

K_BIZ

2 children? Is this hypothetical couple only 13?

kimberly0627

First hospital will not deny you medical treatment. Thus why the hospital bills for illegals are stacking up.

Gosh I really admire you ... I spent quite a few years blaming people and my government for the way my life was going till my mom died suddenly and I decided to take charge of my life. I was married at 20, my husband and I spent the first 5 years of marriage making a pittance but we didnt let that screw up our marriage, we worked our butts off. Around 3-4 years back we got the opportunity to go to another country where the money was good but the quality of life was very regimented (was an Arab country) ... we declined, people called us fools. We went on to start small businesses and today .. we dont have a lot but we have enough for basics and we have finally been able to afford a child after 10 years of marriage. YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY SURVIVE!!! At the end of the day its all you got, the kids will grow up with a dad thats hardworking and committed to them, they will bring it all back to you .... I did all this and I also take care of my aging dad, so yes dude its all about the family because $hit will keep happening. I wish I could help you, I live in a developing country myself so not much to offer here (India), all I can say is keep your head up high, think of the kids and keep moving on. God bless u

Yes I would. I would NOT march through the streets. I would NOT demand anything. I would NOT bring attention to myself and the fact that I broke the law. I would TRY to get things done the legal way. I would also learn the language that the people of that nation spoke. That is what I would do...

The thing that pisses me off most, is that the illegal aliens act like they are owed citizenship. They are not owed anything.

tinkerbell- That is the exact attitude that I am talking about. Illegal aliens are owed NOTHING. If you can't afford to feed your kids, then don't ******* have them. How stupid is that? I can't afford a brand new car, so I don't have one. I could go finance one, but why when I cannot afford it? People who have kids when they cannot afford them should be mandatorily sterilized, and their children taken away.

glock509

dude where do you live?

mischugenah

you forgot to mention spending your life savings in bribes and 'fees' just to be allowed to apply, and then told "sorry, you were turned down. try again."

Chloe

Sell your computer and eliminate your monthly internet charge. Then find a real question to ask.

de rak

If i only made that much money, I would have no business having kids. That is just wrong.

yars232c

I think I like that senario, we should have more of it. Why don't you stop BS's people and start living that way? How many children died in your arms a.s.s.h.o.l.e? Why didn't you put your kids up for adoption in China?

Your about as responsible as a Nazi. I wouldn't talk.

sweetgurl13069

I would sign up for welfare, tell them that you need help, and tell them that your afraid your children would get sick and would need help with the medical bills.
