What about work from home jobs? Like medical billing/transcription? My fiance's sister does this..... she makes GREAT money $17/hr, and her hours are pretty flexible. I mean she can do the work in the morning or evening or even overnight (if she had small children). Hospitals & doctors offices do this from across the country, so you may get a job doing this in another state and be able to do it from home. Having children unfortunately for most people requires lots of sacrifices. Having 1 newer/safer vehicle at least with a new baby is not a bad idea...
I know how stressful money management can be. I owned my own house and even w/o children or a sig other, I had to figure out the bills when my pay kept going down and my bills kept going up. Its stressful but you get yourself on a budget, you coupon shop, you stop spontaneous spending (one of my issues!), you love steak, you eat turkey, etc... and slowly things will get easier and money will increase with raises/bonuses, etc... as the years go by.
Good Luck sweetie... but remember if you do need help, the whole world is not bad and there are many private day cares run by wonderful people who will give your child the individual care he'll need or you'll want him to have.
