Thank you for all your advice. Unfortunately, my husband worked for
the state and since he was in a management position, his new boss came
into the office at 5pm on Friday and said he was bringing in his own
team. That was it. He was asked to resign his position, or be fired.
My husband lost his 10 years with no warning. It has been a blow to
his very core. He is a walking zombie. There just isn’t much he can
do about it- since he wasn’t protected by the union. But I willhave
to look into unemployment even though I don’t think he is eligible. I
am going to do my taxes this week and get my refund back asap. I will
do them myself and save the accountant fee. I cancelled the paper
(except for Sunday since I save so much with the coupons). I will need
to cut some other things this week. Fortunately I took advice from all
of you and bought a freezer last year. It is fairly stocked (yay me)
and I have been doing a weekly freebie shop at Walgreens/cvs. i won’t
be needing shampoo, dish detergent, toothpaste for a while. i
certainly am feeling much more positive than my husband! thanks guys!
