Oh I am feeling for you!!! Have a good cry! Sometimes I need to rent a tear jerker movie to get it started but that is all it takes and sometimes not even that. But once you are done, pick up and start planning! That is so wonderful you do not have any CC payments to worry about! Is there any way to park one vehicle to save on gas right now or do something to alter the insurance just for now like up the deductable? What about part time work for the 4 months?

I don't watch a lot of TV but am really into my library books(free)

Hope it all works out. (well it will) Good luck!!

Yeh, I vaguely remember the days right after I left my abusive ex as a struggling single mom -- and not feeding myself until I knew the kids were full, which sometimes meant I didn't eat that evening.

I'm calling this week to see about changing up our cable/internet plan and dropping the home phone.

When Dh and I got together several years ago I had had a bankruptcy and couldn't have a cc.
