i have just moved, was paying 290, now paying 240 once im all moved in... moved from 3 bedroom to 2 bedroom, baby will have to share a room but 3 bedroom houses are sooo expensive, u might have to compromise!

i was struggling when i was paying 290 but i could still afford clothes for DS and stay on top of bills ect.. im not sure of ur situation but are u getting full single parent pension and both FTB's? and full rent assistance?

with childcare, try cutting that back cuz its very expensive, its hard but i take DS where ever i go, toys and food keep them occupied! and by the way JET funding is only if ur studying lol

try paying a bit off every bill everytime u get paid n that will stop big bills coming in the mail

shop at aldi and coles, the rest are sooo much more expensive... and try just cooking basic as meals and cook big meals n have leftovers..

sell ANYTHING u dont need/use, buy baby/kids stuff off ebay...

umm thats all i can think of atm! just stop 'luxuries' for a while! i dont go to the gym anymore, no credit cards, no going out for tea or lunch or buying food/drinks out... get pay tv cut off if u have it, be careful with electricity/water... try and do free stuff! i dont miss any of these kind of things
