We are now mid-Summer and the good news is my husband just started a new job which is more suited to his liking and career ambitions and pays almost exactly what he was making a year and a half ago before all the s**t his the proverbial fan. The start up shutting down, the 5 months of unemployment, over a year of under employment and way too little salary and way too far a commute.
So despite the fact that I'm very happy to have a regular salary again, a) we won't see a paycheck from the new job until the very end of this month and then only for 1 week's worth of work, b) since he now works regular business hours... we now pay out much of my salary in child care, c) we are so drained after all this and with so many things that HAVE to be dealt with such as our roof... that we shall still be in the hole for what feels like forever.
