Job Hunt Thread, Incarnation The Third

[Bob Schroeck]

I should note that the news out of Congress yesterday morning threw me into a tailspin. With the suspension of extended unemployment benefits, we now have only Peg's income to live off of, and more half of that goes to our mortgage. The rest goes into savings, true, and there's a fair amount there -- enough to carry us through several more months if we did nothing else with it. However, we have several home repairs that need immediate attention that will need to be paid from those funds. We have family that we might be able to draw upon for some help, but we really don't want to.

Understandably, I'm not in the best emotional place right now. Last night's excursion was both necessary and a good distraction, but I can't help end up worrying about costs afterward.
