Sarabelle, I know JUST how you feel.
When DH and I got married, we had just used all of our honeymoon savings to pay for a new roof for the house, so we almost cancelled it. His parents told us not to worry, do whatever we wanted, and put it on credit, they'd take care of it. That was November 2001. I haven't worked steadily since July 01 (our decision) so extra money to pay off extra debts is hard to come by - we've recently had to ask my little brother for a small loan. I was devastated, to say the least. We think we've found a way to get a grip on everything, but it's heartbreaking to see our checkbook - we barely have money to do anything besides sit around and look silly. I'm trying so hard to find a way to work from home - we're starting a computer consulting/web design business - but haven't gotten any serious hits. Neither of us know what to do, and I hesitate to have DH get a second job because his regular job is hard enough as it is. It's just become a huge load of stress for both of us - so trust me, I know how you feel. I wish I had some advice to help you out, but at least you know you're not alone.
And maybe we'll both get lucky soon! |
