<prompt> Human: Im fully employed as a truck driver. I reported 47,071 on my 2016 income tax return. Seems like a decent income. However, my take home net pay was 26,982.72 after taxes, 401k, and my almighty crap health insurance.My hero of a husband up and decided 9 years was 9 years too many, and split town a month ago, while i was on the road, after he graciously emptied the bank account and the house of whatever he felt like. I have 3 kids and some significant financial fires to put out.The largest fire is the roof...Insert Bloodhound Gang referencesjokes here Its mostly rotten on about 14 of it. Roof Men said I need a new one.My homeowners insurance is crap and wont cover the roof...wtfI do not have 7,000. It would take me the better part of two years to even save that much.Im busting ass working 70 per week and I am barely holding things together.I take home 2248 per monthI pay 545 for mortgage, 215 for phone bill, 200ish for electric, 85 for internet, and now spend 67 for car insurance. Car insurance was more, but I sold my nice Dodge Charger, paid off that loan and bought my kids some clothes. Im now driving a Neon because i couldnt afford the 300 car payment anymorei also cancelled directv, netflix, and some other stuff. tried to cancel my health insurance, found out I can only cancel it during open enrollment.I spend about 400 on gas getting to fleet terminal and back, picking up my kids and general running around. Ive got my eating out down to 50 per week or less. This just really blows when youre on OTR truck driver Whatever I have left goes to groceries and if i have anything after that, it goes into savings. Thank the almighty that my mom is awesome and is watching my kids while Im working.I applied for child support, so that will help.I applied for a 8,000 loan from my bank last week for the roof and thats when I found out my credit is crap and is going to be crap until I get through this divorce. My first thought after sh1tcnning every expense I could, was to get a second job...But when would I work? Im already gone for 4-5 days a week most weeks.What do I do guys? How do I make this happen? edit because paragraphs  <response>: My homeowners insurance is crap and wont cover the roof...wtfThats pretty standard. Theyd only cover the roof if it was damaged in say a fire or some other covered event. Normal weartear your problem, not theirs.I was going to suggest an home-equity loan, but I saw another poster did that. Beyond that, unless your mom has the money I really dont have many ideas. Hopefully your divorce settlement and the child support will help out. It sounds like you were dealt a shitty hand here and theres not much else can be done until that divorce settlement shakes out. Just know that judges dont look too kindly on spouses that take the money and bail, so I expect things will go in your favor on that.
