Hi folks, My sweet DH called from work tonight to tell me his job is laying him off on Saturday (ugh - 2 days' notice) - Poor guy is trying to be strong, but I know it's really getting to him. :( I'll be waiting at the door to give him major hugs as soon as he gets home. We are trying to keep a...

Ok, I'm a single mom and just got laid off on the 14th. I had to cut back on my grocery budget. My boyfriend is helping with making sure that each of my minimum monthly bills are paid (along with my unemployement) so I'll be fine there for awhile... but I need new meal ideas. I found out last...

Dh didn't get to work last week and Monday he went in and worked 4 hours and was sent home. One of the owners of the company came by the house in the afternoon yesterday and informed him that he was being laid off and no longer "on call". But, he said it's not permanent, just till they get...

Laid off: What's next for your 401(k) Gerri Willis answers reader's questions.

My husband is an owner/operator who has had a steady contractor. However, the contractor just said my husband's services are no longer needed. We don't have very much saved up and we have so many expenses. Hopefully, my husband will find more work soon.

We just bought our first house in June, and I'm due with another baby (our third, we have a 5 year old and a 13 month old as well) in 7 weeks. We have about nothing in our savings, and my DH was laid off last week. We have already been frugally living as we don't make that much anyway (he...

We had no idea.We do have 6 months, they will be meeting with us shortly to fill us in on severance packages, etc....and if you stick it out the 6 months, you get the package and...

Ok, prices are definitely going up, up, up!! I went to get eggs and...OH MY!!! Is there gold inside or something?!?! We have 2 grocery stores...Carrs is the expensive one, Fred Meyer is the cheaper one (but still kinda spendy). I was planning to update my price book a bit while I was...

I have in the gardening section about how my gardening efforts were stopped short by fire ants...ugh! I've been bitten enough, thank you. I'll just treat and wait. The yard isn't going anywhere. On the inside front, I have had some things come up unexpectedly, and it's put me about a day...

I didn't get half of what I wanted to do done yesterday, because other things came up that took up so much time. It's so discouraging! But I do have those four days off next week, so I'm turning off the phone and the 'puter, and not letting anything interfere! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!! We all...

I'm so depressed. I cried and cried last night, big gulping sobs, and couldn't sleep at all. I went to the orthopedist yesterday, and he wants to do surgery to remove the pins in my left elbow, because he thinks one of them is cutting into the tendon. I know Worker's Comp is not going to allow...

Rudy is doing better. He won't lay down so you have to pick him up and lay him down so he can rest. He's scared to go out at night so you have to carry him out to pee at night. I feel so bad for him, I know it hurts and it scared him. Here is a picture of him laying on the bed, see his nice...

My house is such a huge mess! I can't do anything about it until they lay the carpet! Ugh I just wanna scream. I'm really tired of home improvements at the moment........:sigh:  Ok enough whining, I'm gonna go and at least clean the bathrooms.
