[quote:DT2:MV8yMDUzNDY2XzM0NTIyMzE1XzczQ0ZDODE4] You have to turn off anything you can. Get rid of the cable/satellite TV, dump the smart phones and just have one or two basic pay-as-you-go phones, try to use less electricity, don't buy any Christmas gifts for anyone, including your kids. They will understand. Use public transportation if you can and remove anything from your life other than the bare necessities. I think you should have told your husband. He might have a tough time processing your decision and be resentful for a bit. You guys are a team and need to remember that in these tough times. Your family is the most important thing so be sure that worrying about money doesn't interfere with your relationships. I encourage you to pray; put your burdens and worries on the Lord and you will feel much better. Ask Him for guidance as well. :hf: [/quote]

Down to $50 in the account today my husband works 60 hour weeks, and was told yesterday that there will be no bonuses this year, I work 40, we have four children no credit cards and no car payments. Our house payment is quite low and live a very no frills lifestyle. Food is getting extremely expensive, holidays are here, what am I to do when I have already sold everything worth anything that own. I took the initiative and pawned my wedding band today without my husbands knowledge. I hope he will understand.
