So I just got a house it's a rent to own and right now I have no money saved. So I'm paying things as I go (yes I know I should have waited and saved up but unfortunetly I couldn't) I have a waitressing job that garenteed to make 100 + every day I work.i also have a part time job that I make 200 bi weekly. I just paid the month of nov. so I'm moving my stuff out of storage into the house. I don't have electric or water nor do I have a bed for me my daughter on the other hand has everything she needs. I'm not sure where to start on deciding what items are important to have and what items can wait please help me.

Get the electric before the bed. You can always make a pallet on the floor with some blankets. I agree that you should probably be able to get some emergency assistant. Go to your local Division of Family Services (not sure what they call it where you live).

how would you plan on eating without electricity?

Candles can be a fire hazard, especially with a little one.

Water and electric are necessary.

You should see if you could get some type of temporary assistance.

Also, for items that you need, check FREECYCLE.COM

Had no where else to go so had to. My confusion was weather it was smarter to get a bed before electric. We have candles and blankets so didn't think electric was that important ya know ?
