I'm Screwed!!

My husband and I moved to a new city for a promising new job. It paid more for both of us and meant a promotion for my husband. We both work for the same company. The new job started out great. But our new boss proved to be absolutly insane. There we're rumors in the industry but we choose to make up our own minds. Long story short... my husband couldn't put up with it any more(long story), and quit. The boss fired me to get back at my husband.That however is not my problem.It's this. He is already at another job but it doesn't pay nearly enough. I am not working. We are falling behind on bills. Fighting all the time. We can't make our car paymeants anymore and are in danger of loosing it. We have no money to pay rent and may be evicted. We still had bills from the old house we were paying off. I don't know what to do. I can go to work with my husband too,but it's not worth it, as I will just be working to pay for the babysitter. I'm so stressed. I just don't know what to do. Please if you have any advice I sure could use it.

Hi Titania,

If I wouldn't know any better, I would say: buy a winning lottery ticket. However, it doesn't work that way.

Simple deducting learns that you need more income or lower your expenses. Either way seems to be a BIG problem. I can only advise you and your husband to keep looking at job openings. Use the internet for that and keep sending out resume's and application forms. If you want to get back to work, and make more than what you pay the babysitter for, go on the lookout for it.

It's not much of a help, but seriously this is pretty much the best you can do, I think.... Good luck! God bless you.....

SUE THAT (Censored) BOSS OF YOURS,,OR GET SOME SMUT ON HIM AND BLACKMAIL HIS NO GOOD (Censored)...

I do plan to sue. I still haven't talked to a lawer yet though. There is more bad news. The people at our old job are thinking about sueing my husband for a refund on a course he never finished teaching. The only reason they are doing this is at the urging of the crazy ex boss. We know them all really well and know they would not do it if he wasn't pushing them to. We have no problem giving them partial refunds. But my husband did put alot of time into it and doesn't feel they should get ALL they're money back. They are willing to wait for the money, but every now and then we get a phone call from someone who has just talked to the boss and they get impatient. I have tryed to lower as many expenses as I could. No newspaper, no cable, no long distance, but our rent is so high. Thats the biggest problem. We are locked into a year long lease. The landlord is coming for the rest of the rent today and we only have 200.00. He is a very nice a patient man, but can only wait so long for the rest. I don't know what else to do. I am so worried. If we are evicted where will we go? Our income has dropped by at least 75%. My husband has a line on another job,but it would take him away for 6 months at a time. The money is really good though. Arrrrrggggg. It just seems like one thing after another!!!

Do you have family? Family can always help! Firstly help you with money, but it looks like your child is making thing worse. Can you get a member of family to live with you for a short while to look after your child while you go to work?

Or your husband looks after your child at night while you can get a night job. Im sure you will be very tired, but I can only see you getting a job as the best way to get out of this!

I do not know where you live, but im from the UK and the government gives benefits if your in trouble and support etc. Since your troubles have occurred due to you and your husbands job lose and you have a baby, the council would help you a lot! Does your state, council etc give benefits etc. That would also help you a lot!
