I can't afford back to school clothing this year?

My family is in tough shape financially this year. My dad died last year and it's been really hard for us, emotionally and money-wise.
Anyway, I can't afford back to school clothes. My clothes from last year don't fit, and I can't ask my mom for any money because we can't even really afford rent. We can't even spare $5. I don't know what to do, I've tried getting a job but I'm not getting hired. I only have two shirts and three pairs of pants, and three skirts but I can't wear the skirts to school without being sent home. I don't qualify for help from churches or anything.
What are some good ways to make money before school starts? I don't have a computer, only my smart phone, so I can only do things that I can do on an iPhone. I don't have anything to sell, I already sold what I can.

You can get clothes at salvation army store and places like that, not great but you can some decent there cheap. What you listed is more then I had in high school.

Babysit

It might help your family out if they didn't have to pay for your iPhone bill every month.

Where are you located?

  • Unlocked iPhone 5 for school year abroad in Spain? I'm going to be spending next year going to school in Spain and I really want to have a working iPhone. I've heard a lot about people buying unlocked iPhones (my friend told me a place where I could get an unlocked iPhone so that's not a problem) and then getting a Spanish SIM card. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm just really confused and I want to be sure that it would work. I really want an iPhone and not a Spanish phone.

  • How do people afford the new iPhone each year? Since a new iPhone usually comes out once a year and most carrier plans are for two years how can so many afford the new one? I feel like with the price of the iPhone off contract being so high it shouldn't be hard to say you can't afford it but somehow there are still so many that do… Do they know some trick to get a cheaper iPhone or what?
