Real Answers for Life’s Money Challenges
My boyfriend has gotten himself into a very tight money situation.
He is a 28-year-old personal trainer at a gym.
Money for personal trainers in gym parameters is not ideal by any means.
He can barely afford to pay his rent.
Hes had to stop paying car insurance.
Quite often, he is struggling to survive.
The company that he got his car loan from has taken the car.
It is going to cost a lot of money to address the situation.
He has pretty much no money for anything but rent.
To top it off, he has nine days before they auction the car.
I know $1,000 is unrealistic, but honestly anything over $100 would be so helpful.

It doesnt mean he cant ask for help.
But hes not the one who seems to be trying.
Maybe he feels helpless after feeling for a while like hes never going to get by.
But he has to want help.
He needs to push aside his pride and ask for help.
You should not feel like you have to carry this weight alone, or at all.
