I'm starting to stress!!!

Published

This is more of a vent, just to warn you!

I start NS this fall. I am married and have 2 kids. My son is 6 and will start 1st grade this fall, my daughter is 3 1/2 and my hubby works FT to support us (I am a SAHM/student). My hubby is a teacher here in Las Vegas. Well, as it is most places, they are talking budget cuts for the teachers. Last we heard it was suposed to be 15%!!! OMG, that's almost $500 a month that we will be losing! Teachers don't make squat as it is, and now the officials want more! I just don't know how we are going to survive come Sept. Our babysitter is realy cheap, $5 an hour for both kids. We know what we need to cut (TV, going out to eat as much, stuff like that) but it will nowhere near make up the money he will lose. I am hoping to get financial aid for school, but that is always iffy because I am getting my ADN and already have an AA and a bazillion credits! He has about 18k in students loans we will have to start paying for at the end of the year, and I will probably have to take some out just so we can make it month to month:uhoh3: I HATE that thought! Anyways, sorry for the rambling, I just had to get it out and I know there are others in similar situations. Thanks for reading:redbeathe
