This is the time of year to buy a new car, though, and I keep seeing ads on TV for $99/mo payments, etc. If your credit is good, you can get a good deal.

Have you considered working at night, so that your hubby would be with the baby, instead of a daycare. My sister had to do it when they lost one car, so that they could share the car, and it's worked out wonderfully for them. She's now an assistant manager at a WalMart and makes really great money. She started out stocking shelves for just above minimum wage and now two years later makes about $20/hour plus benefits.

Things WILL work out. Just remember that you're in it together and keep the faith

My hubbie works for walgreens so his shifts are anywhere from 5am to 12am and sometimes overnights too. I can't rely on him to be home when I'm working and he can't just not go to work when he gets called in and i'm needing to go somewhere too. logically quitting was the only real option because we also can't put a child into daycare that only accepts full time for 240 a week infants when there are days of the week dh is home and other days he's not. not realistic to pay that kinda price tag when you only use it maybe 3 days a week some weeks and 5 days a week others. the best option was always me quitting because i could at least save us the daycare money and my salary now would literally be cut in half by daycare costs with him not even being there all the time.
