For “average” people with several children…?

I’m curious. You and your husband/boyfriend both work full time, have average paying jobs (by no means well off or even comfortable, but you don’t go without, either), standard bills (rent/mortgage, utilities, car payment, insurance, etc.) How do you support three or more children? My husband and I have two sons and we’ve pretty much decided we’re finished…for now. We’ve said when our older son is in kindergarten, we *might* consider trying for a third (we both like large families) but honestly…how do people afford it?? We both have average paying jobs (he works retail at a large lumber/home improvement chain and I’m a legal secretary). What do you guys do to avoid getting on welfare? Or do you?

I realize this probably sounds like a really strange question, but I read on here where people have three or four kids and I wonder…what is your secret for not being in the poorhouse? LOL :)

Southeast OHIO: Anyone have an extra car/truck/suv that they’ll trade for home improvements?

On the same day that I was laid off my job as an Art Director my wife was in a bad accident & our Jeep was totalled. Insurance paid off the Jeep but left us with only one car. My wife, thankfully, fully recovered after a month. She uses our only vehicle to get to her rural job. We need another vehicle.
I have 22 years experience as a maintenance man/handyman. I do expert painting, drywall, plumbing, carpentry & electrical work. You buy the materials and I’ll do the work, labor free for that extra vehicle you have just sitting around your yard. This is not an ad, I am looking to buy a vehicle & to pay for it with my labor.

We can work something out if you live in Perry, Athens, Hocking, Morgan or Muskingum Counties, or possibly other near by counties. Even if it’s just a possibility please click on my crime dog pic & it’ll enable you to e-mail me. I have a clean record with great referances. If you have an extra vehicle around it could be a real win-win for both of us. Thank you!

Do you find this to be wrong?

That native americans, especially ones from wealthy tribes, pay absolutely no income taxes, if they have anything delivered to them on native land, say a car, they pay no sales taxes. Yet the state will use our tax money to pay for a new road to go to their casino! I know a couple of natives personally that get $17,000 a MONTH no exaggeration at all seriously $17,000 a month! Just for being native! There are 16 and 17 yr olds driving around in $70,000 vehicles! Then they whine how they are treated unfairly! What?!!! Unfair! A native’s girlfriend I work with just turned 18 and bought a $375,000 house, $34,000 worth of furniture, his girlfriend a $60,000 car and also has a hummer valued around $75,000. What is wrong with this country to just let a certain ethnic people live here extremely wealthy and for free! Their only arguement is that we “Stole there land from them.” News flash thousands of countries throughout time were founded by conquest not just the US.
I think the billions of dollars they’ve made since we gave them their sovereign land and casinos has more than paid for what happened to them! I have more respect for Paris Hilton then I do for any spoiled native!
So, for any injustice that happened long before any of our time should be paid for with reparations? If that;s the case just about every race, religion, creed, culture or nationality should be titled to some kind of reparation. Everyone acts like this is the only case of injustice to ever happen throughout time!

True we did, but that was generations ago! How many lands did the British Empire conquer? Many, you don’t see them catering to the ones conquered! The sins of the father should not be paid for by the son!
If you don’t believe they have that much money, then come to Red Wing, MN and see for yourself!

WHere Can I find an online list of grants to finance a new small bussiness?

not exactly sure what, but say for instance I wanted to start a used car dealership, or a home improvement office. Where do I find a list of available grants along with corresponding requirements.
