I have been married a little over a year now and we have been out on our own for only a few months now. My husband got laid off and is now working a crappy job to bring some money in, I couldn't make the last payment on my car, we are a payment behind on my husbands truck. We are struggling with the rent. My mom bought us groceries because we had nothing for 3 weeks because we had a bad wind storm here and it knocked our power out for a few days so we lost all our food and couldn't afford to replace it. I'm cutting back everywhere I can, even though it seems to not help. I'm trying to sell everything I can live without, even some things I don't want to sell but need to. I have a 40 mile round trip to work my husbands is about 30 round trip. I don't know how to conserve more money than I already have. we don't turn lights on in the house unless we have to so it helps with the electric bill. I will have to buy Bandit some more food soon and he eats Innova and as i'm sure some of you know its not exactly cheap but I will NOT make him suffer because of whats going on. I'm getting depressed. I just had to go to the dentist to find out I need two root canals and crowns and my insurance only pays 40% so out of pocket it will cost me over $2400, so looks like i'm going to walk around in pain for a long time before I can get it fixed. If they weren't important teeth I'd get them pulled, one of them I am thinking about it but the other I will not let them pull. I'm so scared of losing everything I've worked so hard to get. It makes me feel a little better to know I'm not the only one in this position. But I'd also rather noone be in this position. Thanks for listening.
