Hi guys, I am a single mom, and also an insurance agent. I only make around 29k. My insurance score is not great. But the fact is, based on what Im making I really cant afford to raise a child.

Im on a budget that even my boss helped me to create. We are really close and he is a mentor to me.

I put all my food, cloths, and gas on my credit card and I pay my rent on time.

But Im moving backwards, even with my incredibly conservative spending. We even just got rid of cable and cell phone due to late payments.

I have a clean driving record, but everyone in the office laughs at how high my insurance is because my credit is poor.

Im working my but off but until I get a raise or prices go down, Im in trouble.

So, when you pay less for insurance because of your good ins score, thank my little girl for it. Because we are making sacrifices by paying more......

Sorry, thats just my little perspective. I wish I were a better sales person, or was just smarter so I could get a better job, by my grades just werent good enough.
