Expenses creep up and got so so high
Daycamp registration is around the corner
Groceries for the week went from $180 to $300-350 for a family of 5
I asked for a raise and did not yet get an answer
Dh asked and it’s unclear if he will get one
We’d like to try to conceive for baby # 4
We used to be able to put about 1200 in savings each month, now we’re trying to pay off $5000 on our credit card
Pesach is coming
Please Hashem help me out. Fincially I just want to be able to give tzedakah, pay tuition, have more kids, honor Shabbos and yt and buy tznius clothing and make simchos with peace of mind, not stress.
I know You can- I see my neighbors all have tremendous financial success so I’m asking You please please help us out!
Looking for hugs or validation

You are not the only one. You are also right, Hashem can really help you. For myself I have found that when I'm careful to honor Shabbos without a drop of selfish thought and when I bench with kavanah finances pick up. So much hatzlacha.

Amein
Sharing a dvar Torah that I don’t recall where I heard it:
We say in Perek 130 in tehillim “harbeh imo fedus.” He has many ways of redemption! I may not even be able to fathom how it will happen. Hashem isn’t limited to raises etc- He can do anything.
I daven it should be in a happy way, not a sad or bittersweet way.
Please Hashem!

All I can say is I feel you completely
I have total emunah that Hashem will help us, and I just do my best right now. It’s all I could do
Dealing with medical issues, and at the same time my business has slowed down to almost a stop inexplicably. It must be from Hashem and it must be good.
I’m due soon with baby number 4, cleaning help is a non negotiable here.
Yes, Hashem, please answer all of our tefilos!!
You have massive storehouses filled with unimaginable financial success, please, just shower it on us so I can be a calmer wife and mother, so I can give tzedaka and yes, even buy beautiful things that I want!

I mean that I shop for shabbos b'lev shalem...with joy. I obviously don't Overbuy but I buy what makes the members of my family feel shabbos joy and I don't feel a squeeze at the price. Lkavod shabbos. I keep Hashems shabbos He should provide for me.
