My 9 year old is loves reading. He reads on a middle school level and reads everyday :) My 3 year old isn't too into sitting having me read to him yet or looking at books himself. The main purpose of canceling the $83 a month cable is we don't use it enough so we can put that money to use elsewhere. We use the $8.99 a month Netflix more...including my husband and myself.

Honestly it was nuts. I lived and breathed micro lol. It was rough on my family but it went by fast!

We are cutting off our cable too! The kids watch Netflix more than anything so it's a pointless expense at this point. We also want to shop around for cheaper a cheaper cell phone provider.

Thank you everyone for your responses. We already live a frugal life, so that is why this is so scary. I should probably add my husbands income is commission based. We are going to cut the cable off, get cheaper cell phones, and have a yard sale because we have so much stuff we don't need. Ahhh why didn't I just go back to school when I was younger!

My anxiety is through the roof right now. I am set to start a BSN program after working on my prerequisites for the past two years. I have two children and a husband and we are a one income family. Normally we would use my left over financial aid to help with bills but now all of my loans,grants, and scholarships will only cover my tuition...that's it. I do not want to throw my dream away because of money...but I really do not know how we will make it...we struggle now. I keep thinking of the end result, but making it through these next 3 years broke is terrifying me. If anybody has any words of wisdom or has been through a similar situation I would love to hear from you! Thanks!

I just recently took micro in a 3.5 week course. Yes you read that correctly. I had class mon-fri for 6 hours each day. The good thing about taking it in a shorter session is there isn't time to forget and procrastinate. The best thing you can do is not miss lectures or labs for any reason. Study, study, and study some more. I struggled with some of the material and still came out with a B...I should add I also have a family at home so it wasn't easy. Another thing, choose your lab group WISELY!! Good luck!

Hi there. I am starting there this fall also. I am a transfer from VWCC. I believe how it works is at the end of let's say this fall semester you must have a 3.0 to be guaranteed to move to your nursing classes. 2.5 to 3.0 will be put on a wait list. Anything lower cannot move forward. Hope that helps and good luck!
