With the economy as it is at the present time, the cost of inflation soaring, food and petrol prices rising it’s no wonder lots of families are struggling to make ends meet. Parents are going without food themselves so that their young children can eat a reasonable meal. More than ever families are having to resort to using food banks to subsidise their monthly shopping requirements. Growing your own fruit and vegetables is one way of supplementing your healthy, five a day food intake but what happens if you don’t have access to a garden or an allotment? Poorer families who perhaps live in a tower block or multi-storey apartment may not have the opportunity to grow food for themselves or their children so they may think about other ways of earning extra money to increase their usual incomes. One rather unusual way to do this is to take part in Medical Studies That Pay and if you wanted to find out more about this option you could contact a company such as http://www.trials4us.co.uk
Taking Part in these safe clinical trials could see you helping others at the end of the procedures if the drugs that are being tested on you are found to be of medical benefit to the general population. If you are struggling to make ends meet, don’t be afraid to ask for help, talk to charities and reach out to food banks and other agencies that can help. You are certainly not the only family that are finding it more and more difficult to make your monthly income last until the month is up. Using a credit card may seem like a good solution but then if you don’t pay back the amount you have borrowed the high interest rate means you have to pay back much more than you originally borrowed.
Possibly a zero percent loan from a bank or other trusted financial organisation could be an option to get you out of a difficult situation because as they say, “Difficult times call for difficult measures”! Try not to let your financial difficulties get you down, talk to other families who are going through the same financially difficult situation you are. See if your children are entitled to free school meals, or perhaps they could attend the breakfast or after school club where food is provided. Hopefully this recession will soon pass, and interest rates, food, petrol and heating prices will fall.
