The schedule was weird because occasionally he was actually gone for up to 6 days. Other times he just worked during the day during those "on" times and was on call during the night. The money was good (for us back in those times) and since we didn't have kids yet, it was no big deal.
Like I said, that's a tough decision but financially, it would put a huge dent in those bills. Would it be easy enough for him to return to his old job after a while or find a new one closer? Maybe you could set a time limit on it and everyone just buckle down and "sacrifice"??
Good luck!! |
Hes a self employed welder....i got to thinking even at 1500 a week,,,thats 6000 monthly...in 3 months he would make 18,000.00. We could pay off a TON of stuff.....I dont know Im going to try to push alittle. IHes just very very very close to the family and cant stand to be away for like 2 days let alone 5 days a week. He could come home on the weekends or we can go up there....its only about 4-4.5 hours away. Its not like its in Montana..if that was the case id say no but this is soo close....I dont know.. Im tired of struggling and I see the big picture.....My husband is always talking about men that go on the road usually get divorced because their wives get tired of it...I wont divorce him...i see the good around this all. He knows I dont wantr him to do this because Im trying to get rid of him or i dont want to work...I told him Ill do exactly what im doing now.. I make enough to easily pay the house payment and utlities and stuff like that..your money would be paying everything else off and maybe paying this 365.00 a month truck payment all the way off and than wed just have out house and the few utlitly bills and stuff we have. I would quit getting calls from the damn creditors......I SOOO SEE IT....Why does he have to be so stubborn...lol
