Earning About 1000 USD Monthly and Barely Scraping By – Advice Will Be Followed

To start, I’m the sole income earner supporting my family, freelancing at about $1000 monthly. it doesn’t work. My work doesn’t pay a lot but takes forever to get done.

Family is currently unhealthy so I try to limit our purchasing to healthy foods only (which costs more). Medical bills up the wazoo.

In debt. I feel my only choice currently is to earn more, but I’m not sure what to do to get there. I’ve also heard about investing but I’m locked into a scarcity mindset.

I’ll take the best advice I can get and will update on progress or lack thereof if anyone is interested.

Expenses? Family size? Why are you the only income earners? Also let me just come right out – $1000/mo isn’t enough to support one person nevertheless multiple

Expences currently average $967/mo 1000/mo is actually great for a single person. Fam size: 2 kids 2 adults Spouse lacks ability to work. I haven’t sought aid, but what kind should I be looking for?
