I'm new to this board and hoping someone can at least give me moral support to ease my mind, I have a huge HUGE amount of credit card debt(and of course no savings to speak of), which I am able to at least make the minimums with my husband working, he's in construction so I've just been waiting for the axe to drop with the way the economy is, there is no jobs out there and he only had about a few months more on the existing job, now we get hit with him being out of work because of his heart, he had a heart attack 4 years ago at age 39, and now they think he needs to go back in hospital....I'm so stressed over how to pay the bills with him not working whether it's due to unemployment or disability......I know he needs to be my main concern but I can't help feeling overwhelmed with it all now medical bills with go along with credit card bills.... any suggestions, ideas, prayers???

Hello worrywart and welcome to the dsg.
All my best,
Danni
You do have a lot of worries on your plate, but if it helps at all, try to remember that they can't put you in debtor's prison; yes it's unpleasant to be broke, but you are not the first person to work your way through this situation and you won't be the last.
Hello and {{{HUGS}}}.
My DH has a chronic disabling condition that will never improve so my general situation is similar to yours.
From a lady that also has a husband with a bad heart just a few things you guys need to do this weekend if it is not to late.
Go on the net and get the forms for a living will and power of attorney for health. Have them made out and notarized Then when he goes into the hospital even it is for simple test you can give a copy to the hospital to be put in his file.
Another thing make out your credit card payments for the next week or so
