    Do what the rest of us have had to do, reduce the house hold costs.

    Get rid of that junk truck, buy a cheap car - like $300 and pay cash.

    Learn how to plan meals and budget food.

    cut back on electricity use, even if it means you turn out lights when you are not in the room. Turn the air up to 80 instead of 65.

    and so on.

    many of us did it in the past.

    NO new driver is worth $1400 a week, they have no skills, they are just a steering wheel holder and have to earn the pay, driving is just part of the job and most have it really easy.

    From your other thread:

    let me know what you guys think and how many miles should I be running monday-friday to get fat check of 1,400-1800 a week. My home electric bill is $800-1200 a month wanted to know what you all pay for utility its water and light with garbage included 1 once a week.


    So now your electric is only $500 a month?
