Surviving these hard times & budget scares
I am feeling soooo upset right now.
With the cost of living through the roof at the moment it's a struggle dealing with the groceries and ridiculous petrol prices and now we have just gotten a letter in the mail from our fantastic (not so) government that they are "phasing out the dependent spouse tax rebate" and after carefully budgeting for our new home (a huge mortgage we just took on) this is what we are running into!?! We get over $1000 a year from that which helps enable me to be a SAHM which is the plans for the foreseeable future and now this :(
DH was also supposed to get a promotion last week but they announced the company is in trouble (huge international company) and have put all positions and wages on hold :( we budgeted for this payrise as it was almost guaranteed and now i am just so scared of the prospect of losing everything and hubby having to find a new job in this scary economy :( things were looking soo positive but have just crashed so suddenly and harshly :(
I feel so alone. And sad. Am I?!
