I'm really struggling with money again this month. I don't know how I'm going to pay all my bills.

Have you tried making a budget and sticking to it? We could sit down together and go through all your expenses and see where you can cut back.
human
Yeah, I guess that's a good idea. It's just frustrating because it seems like no matter what I do, I always end up short.

I understand how you feel, but we have to make some changes if we want to get out of this cycle. Remember when we had to tighten our belts after I lost my job a few years ago? We managed to make it work by being careful with our spending.
human
I remember. It was tough, but it helped us become more responsible with our money.

Exactly. We can do the same thing for you now. It might be uncomfortable at first, but it'll be worth it in the long run.
human
You're right. I appreciate your support and willingness to help.
