I'm the type of girl that buys things without looking at the price. I don't really care how much something is if I like it I buy it. Luckily, my husband has a pretty good job and I just work part time, so I don't get bored around the house . That extra money I make I use it to buy stuff for my Jerome, Chikis and Kiki, I buy things for myself too and of course for hubby, but I don't worry about paying the bills, or the house or things like that. I don't mean to sound snotty, 'cause I'm not. Well, last week, my husbands company which is a big company in the aerospace industry, lost a contract against another company. The project he was working on would had probably given them jobs for the next 20 years, now all the people that where involved in the project including my husband are kind of wondering what is going to happen to them since the projectsthey have now are not a juicy as the one they just lost, and also, hubby is saying that on Tuesday they are going to have a meeting and some big shot like the second of the CEO is coming to Houston to talk about what they lost. So, hubby is talking about maybe some lay offs, that really scares me, it gives me the chills all the way to my bones. Hubby told me not to spend a lot of money on things, try to buy groceries and look at the prices,
that if he loses his job I would be the one making some of the payments, like the house. I don't mind that but, the thought about him losing his job terrifies me. I know he would be depressed, and I think I would be too, not only that, but to think that we would be using money that we have save for retirement or just to have it i the bank growing it just scares me. I'm really scared, and I just don't know what to do. He's told me that this is serious and that it can happen. He's been with the company for many years, I don't know if that can help him because when companies lay off people don't they do it to the new people?. On the other hand, he is not a spring chicken either so like he says he is not as marketable as if he was 20 years younger , so it would be harder for him to find a job, although he is going to school to get his masters, he is not finished yet. I don't know... all this really scares me and makes me appreciate things and see things from a different perspective.
I just wanted to talk to someone about it.
It is not a good feeling, it really sucks.
