It's Official

My husband was given notice that he is being laid off. While this effect is not immediately, it does make me wonder what we'll do when there's no more paycheck from his job.

I realize that he can draw unemployment, but not sure how much that will help. I've been told he'll only receive 2/3rds of his paycheck, someone said he'll just get 70% of his paycheck and another has said he'll get the same amount he received from his job.

I think our best bet is to try and budget from the lowest amount and if there's more to work with then that's great news. In the mean time I at least have my freelance writing job for now.

The Economy Hits Home

I don't know about you, but this economy thing is really starting to make me wonder. I'm not worried, just wondering. We live in a very small town and already five big companies have laid off people and or are closing their doors. Now there is real talk of my husband being laid off at his job. Will it happen? There's a big chance. At first he assumed it was the bigger city laying off people, but as it turns out, it's now hit home.

We'll know within the next few weeks if he gets laid off or not. The only good news out of this is, it gives us a chance to move and I still have my job.
