I own my house, and while that seems wonderful, I have absolutely no tax writeoffs. I don't make enough money from each paycheck that I can increase my withholding to be able to make it each pay period. I find I'm dipping out of savings each month. What can I do about this? I'm thinking about joining a 401k that they just started here at our office but I really can't afford to have that money taken out of my check. I need it now. I'm newly divorced and its very hard for me to live on my income because my ex made about 3 times more money than I did. I should have gone for spousal support but its too late now !

g for tax write offs or ways to afford your house?Here are a couple of suggestions:1 - Take in a room mate and charge rent (cash only). Split the cost of food and utilities. That will help handle the mortgage for now. 2 - Take a second job, part time. Work weekends doing something where you get more than just money out of it. Look for work that is fun, or where you can meet new people. That way it helps entertain you without spending money and you may meet someone who can be your new room mate, or some new friends.3 - Start a home business. There are tons of write offs for a business run out of your home. If you are over 21 and want to try a wine sales consulting business, send me an email or visit my web site at adwineadventures.com/mo1508 to get more information.Good Luck
