Are you having trouble staying afloat in the current economic climate? Did you buy the home of your dreams, only to be facing foreclosure? Did you fall behind in rent and are getting evicted? Are financial woes forcing you to move back in with your parents or in-laws?
 
my husband and i got married in dec. My husband lost his job in feb because of lack of work in construction so he was and has been on unemployment ever since and FINALLY monday he starts back to work. we have a 10 month old son and we are struggling baddd. sometimes i would just cry because i didnt know how to pay bills and buy diapers. your not alone believe me!! i know tons of people who are losing there homes and jobs because the way things are..and it has bruised our marriage terribly because of finances. im so thankful that he is going back to work monday so we can hopefully soon move out of off his parents house and live our lives without so much struggles!!
 
We've been married for 18 months and have a 6 month old son.
We didn't buy a house, but rented a nice apartment. We thought we would try to buy a house, and now we can't.
finances aren't great, we aren't going to disney land or anything, but they aren't terrible by any stretch
 
well we just got our first apartmen and im the only one working and its getting hard for us and i do get upset that i come home and its not totally spotless.
 
We're not married yet, we're engaged, but with the economy the way it is, I'm questioning whether we should. He pays child support, which I know will effect me as well if we get married. I'm struggling to pay off credit cards. We both have "dead end" jobs because we can't afford to go get educations. I love him, but will it pay off to get married? Ugghhh...
 
Your rant sounds like a commercial and at the end,you are giving us a way out. If you are in financial troubles, follow the lead of Sbuck 201 and others. You can do it! Remember I said that a man's character is defined when facing adversity,
 
Me and my husband are buying a houseto try to get custody of my lil' sis, so my step dad will quit beating the Sh*t out of her.

On top of that shes diabetic and needs 400$ in insulin a month. And shes a bratty B****, but I forgive her :)

We realize this is prolly going to ruin our marrage but we love my sis and each other very much, and just hope that we can withstand this storm :)
 
OMG yes! My hubby is an out of work Carpenter and we are living with my parents. It's a disaster! There's so much drama because my mom gets upset over a lot of things and thinks we're being a mooch even though we're working off rent, helping out with household chores, cooking and providing some of the food. We don't ask for money. But it's still unpleasant. My husband has wanted to leave so many times but I keep telling him that finances are the number one reason couples get divorced and we are not going to let it come between us (as well as any in-law problems). I've cut my maternity leave two months short to go back to my job in an attempt to move out sooner.

All in all, I'm determined to stick it out with my husband, through good times and bad.
 
Okay, so I'm jumping the gun a little bit, but my fiance and I are getting married saturday.

We are having such a hard time... even without taking the wedding into consideration. We are having to move out of our nice, safe, clean apartment into a small, dirty, one bedroom house in a really unsafe area. Why? The rent is less than half what we're paying here. And they're raising the rent next month.

This month alone, we've had to sell our scooter, furniture, DVDs, television, DVD player, etc... just to make sure that all our bills are going to be paid. Now granted, we're paying rent at two places right now, so next month it should get easier.

Our new house is in a different town, so when we move, there go our jobs. I am not sure what we are going to do if we do not find work right away. We may have to move in with our parents, but that really wouldn't be the end of the world. I could also sell my car, and the last few things we own.

But despite all this, things don't feel all that bad. We don't have much debt between us, just over ten thousand, and I'm happy to know that I'm not going to be alone in all of this. I'll have the love and support of my husband.

Anyhow, I don't know if this is what you're looking for... but I hope it helped! You're not alone.
