I am a 31 year old who just moved my entire family more than 2000 miles to support my wife and her job. I have 2 children, a 7 yr old boy and a 3 yr old girl. They both have birthdays coming in less than a month. We have run into so many hidden money drains that we never saw coming. We have many other bills and start-up fees to pay just to try and get comfortable. We cannot even cash my wifes paycheck because the bank must hold it for 10 days!
Any help would be appreciated. We were so sure we could make this work, and it looked good on paper, but it seems like now we get the run-around everywhere we turn for help or even understanding. I can't even get my own job because of the hours my wife needs to devote to her job. We are feeling stuck, and haven't found the light yet. Thank You for any attention you could give us. I am not sure if we can continue to live here very long, and the next step would be the streets.
