The perfect storm - big rent increase, a traffic fine, and another large bill, and I don't have enough money

So all the money I have in savings is now going to be used up. My rent is going up $50 a week, the traffic fine is $469, and the other large bill is close to $1000. I have about $1k in savings, and I'm also still paying off my solicitor for legal fees from family court action to get my ex to agree to parenting orders last year. But as long as I can buy food pay basic bills and care for my daughter when she stays with me I'll be ok. There's never any financial respite.

See if you can get a payment plan with some of your bills like the traffic ticket. The basics is most important.

@Sunflower2021 I already asked for a review of the traffic fine but the roads authority will not allow any leniency despite the circumstances. I now at least have an extra month in which to pay it.
