Husband Got Laid Off Today

So my husband, the main income in our house, got laid off today. He made more than double what I make so this is hitting us pretty hard. I work part time (32hrs) and I am able to increase my hours to 40 hrs and pick up some overtime so that should help. I also sell Pure Romance so hopefully I can book some parties to get some more income.

It really stinks with the holidays right around the corner, but we are better off than some people so I have to be thankful for that

Re: Husband Got Laid Off Today

  • Oh nooo! Hopefully he'll be able to find something soon. I was out of work for almost a year and while it was stressful, we were able to make it work. Hang in there...hopefully this will only be temporary.

  • Im sorry.  I hope it's only temporary for you.  My DH has been looking for a job since the end of 2009.  It's tough out there, but all we can do is be patient.
  • Thanks ladies. I cried a lot yesterday but today is a new day and I am hopeful that things will turn around soon. With me picking up extra hours and my husband getting unemployment we will be fine :o)
  • That sucks! i have been in that boat before. It sucks but I am sure he will find something. Good luck!
