Well this Christmas is a bit rough as I have a few unexpected vet bills from my rescue bunnies and 2 of my cats. Also have to find a new source of heat bc we have to remove our woodstove or be locked out by the sheriff. Not mention we are trying to save for our very small wedding we are having on valentines day. Everytime I save a little money, it ends up going to a vet bill. I have a few more things to pay for my wedding and also have to get my dress altered. We are very tight on cash and just scraping by the skin of my feet.

They need an authoritative source they can work with and depend on to see their way clear to solutions, not more confusion. They're good kids with heads full of bad, contradictory, and complicating advice and the money and the services of a professional would help them get clarity. .
