I haven't been on in awhile. Things have been bad. We are in a financial hole, our phones are shut off an we have no internet. I'm staying at my grandparent's because we cannot afford to get gas to heat hte house. And I am so unhappy with my marriage, me and DH have been fighting a lot and I cannot stand him at times. For members that know me, I am usually very prominent on this forum and I usually do not share anything personal. But I am so stressed out.
Do you have a budget that you stick to?
He works at Walmart. I don't work. I had been previously blessed to be a SAHM because DH had a really good job in which he was making almost $20 an hour then he lost that job due to injury. So he got a job as quick as he could. I have been filling out applications but our only vehicle is broken down so we now have no vehicle. My mom works at the same place as DH so he rides with her to work and if it weren't for that, we'd be screwed. And I have tried SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many times to budget but DH is horribe with money hence us fighting so much!!!!

Do you both work.

Maybe try taking control of the finances for 6 months. Prove to him that you can handle it.
Also you might try(for either one of you) fed ex, ups and target are hiring(at least they say so on their websites) is a lot of areas.

Get back on your feet. Try and stay positive and have better attitudes toward each other, I know it's hard when your in a rough patch. It just makes things go better when you work as a team and have better attitudes towards each other. Good luck Hun. * hugs*
I'm sorry you guys are going through this... Job searching is so hard there are so many places hiring but who are they hiring? Pray on this and I will also put u in my prayers
I am so sorry that things are so stressful for you right now.
If I may, I'd like to suggest checking out a money management book or two (Dave Ramsey is my recommendation) and the two of you working through them together. You can pinpoint what works best for you and be partners in building back that stability. Good luck.
Its always gotta be about him. kinda long
