What challenges are parents facing due to the end of their monthly child tax credit payments? CNN's Tami Luhby talks to four mothers to find out.
Losing the enhanced monthly child tax credit pushed Joi Lansdowne to start toilet training her daughter Kaleasi, who recently turned 2. That way, the mom of two could save money on diapers, which run her about $100 every 10 days or so.
"That is a huge expense," said Lansdowne, 26, who worked as a case worker for the state of Maryland until the fall and had hoped she'd continue receiving the $300 monthly infusion this year."When you don't have the funds to cover those things, you've got to get creative."Lansdowne, who also cut off cable at her Martinsburg, West Virginia, home to help her afford the mortgage, is looking for a job.
