A mum who is doing all she can to keep her family afloat says she was left crying with frustration after her husband splashed out on a brand new games console they just couldn't afford. The woman in question is currently balancing full-time work and study with caring for a toddler. Her husband also works full-time and cares for her child when she needs to complete coursework.
Money is currently a serious concern for the family, who are said to be 'drowning in debt'. Before the pandemic, they were able to get by on one full-time wage and one part-time wage. Nowadays, she can't even afford to pay her half of the rent.
