<prompt> Human: Im turning 21 in July and getting married in October. Ive lived rent free with my grandparents since I was 14. I worked as a carpenter with my grandfather until a year and a half ago for pocket change, and out-of-court child support for my 5 year old. My vehicles title is in my grandmothers name, handed down to me for 1k when she got a new one. I have a checking account that I use for writing child support checks and online purchases, and a savings account with like 300-500 in it, both at a credit union. Im currently abusing my lack of bills and depositing 60-70 of my check in savings and 20 in checkings, using the remaining 80-140 for gas, lunch, and pocket change for the next two weeks. I just got a job in January at Wal-Mart. Im making 11.50hr part-time with an average of 30 hrs a week. I live in a small town in central Georgia pop 5,500 in the county seat, 200 in my hometown so the cost of living is fairly low, but my fiance is a substitute teacher and can only work up to 3 days a week at 50-60 a day. There have been times when they didnt call her to work for at least a month. Shes about to try opening a booth at one of our local flee markets and an etsy to sell some of her artwork, as well as work on getting published, as shes a devoted writer. So as it stands, my income is the closest thing we have to reliable. Im just worried its not enough. Wal-mart offers 401k with 6 match and the purchase of stock at 15 match. If Im not mistaken vision and dental insurance are available through the company, but Health insurance is only there if I average OVER 30hrs a week for a full year of continuous employment. My Wal-Mart has an Absolutely no overtime policy so Im afraid that theyre going to try to schedule me just under that average to avoid giving me the benefit. My grandfather passed shortly after retiring from carpentry, and my grandmother no longer has a reason to keep this 5 bed, 2 12 bath house, so once I get married or once this house sells Ill have to get out on my own. Ive been weighing my options between rentingmortgaging a house, or trying for income based housing. Im pretty sure my son is going to come live with me, so should I apply for food stamps? How much should I try to put in the 401k or Wal-Mart stock? Can I still keep internetcell phone service? Would I be better off looking for a full time job, even if it means taking a pay cut? How would my employee discount factor into comparing pay-rates? Where does saving for college fit on the priority list? Should I look into getting a newer car to attempt to save in the long run Current vehicle is experiencing mechanical issues, the insurance is too high, it seats too many for a single child family, and only gets 22mpg highway What do I have to do in order to support my family in my current situation, or is it even possible without a second reliable income or a better job? TL;DR: I just got a job; its part-time, but hours seem steady. My grandmother is selling the house, and Im getting married soon. My fiance has a few small forms of income, but nothing reliable. I need to know if and how we I can support our family.EDIT: Formatting  <response>: Dude...Im assuming you are male because you said support my family and that is a male thing to say.Its short-sighted to ask can I support my family in October? The better question is: do you want to keep living pay-check to pay-check relying on minimal wage jobs when you are 30? How about 35? How about 45?Right now, you dont have an expense problem, you have an income problem. Youve got to invest your time today learning a skill or trade that will change your future tomorrow. You are currently selling an hour of your time to Wal-Mart for 11.50 hour. How can you go about changing your skills so that you either derive value in your own time as a contractor or demand more value for your time than you currently do?You have about 6-months between now and October. Given that you are selling our time so cheaply, 26-weeks working 40-hours at 11.50 hour gross is worth 11,960 less after taxes. If you took that time and focused on learning a trade, you would be able to double your hour quickly. The payback on the time youd invest would be quick. States give out grants and scholarships to train their work forces.To make this change, you may need to move across the country. You may need to stop hanging out with friends. You may need to take actions that seem unfamiliar. I looked for jobs in Werner Robins, GA on indeed.com and I was surprised by the skills. You may need to move quickly.FWIW: your written communication skills are better than folks Ive seen how make 100k these folks have auxiliary skills tech, trade, or business smarts. You are obviously smarter and more talented than your current situation.Source: I was married at age 20. I was in a similar situation. Im 36 now, and in a much better situation. Your fiance should become your biggest cheerleader for changing your familys future. If she is not willing to do that, its going to be a tough road ahead.
