ok so he apologized in his own way, without words, but i got the gist of it. those of you who read my last post about "i hate my husband and i am not too fond of life in general" knows the story. of course, money. money causes so many problems. but he finally admitted that something needed to be done about all of our credit card bills and loans.
i cut up ALL of my credit cards today. that is the first step in paying them off, not being able to use any ever again. i shouldve done that a long time ago. but better late then never, right.
i got so many wonderful, caring responses today and it really helped me thru what i felt was a horrible day. i thank each of you that have taken the time to tell me your money struggling story and all the kind words.
we are going to work thru this and not let it tear our family apart. some of the advice i was given today was just wonderful. things that i really needed to be told and i needed to hear.
mylot does wonders!!! so many people out there in the same predicament than i am and that helped me out a lot.
thanks to all my mylot buddies!!!

It is so nice to knowthat u finally got everything sorted out. N regarding credit cards, well I m very careful bout them. U need to control your spending power n calculate your expenses, n money comin in n the goin outs. Well, I have only ONE credit card, n that too m very careful with it. i make sure I make the payment on time, n never wait for any dates to near, cause ,I know wat happens , n know the tricks of the trade. I have been working in a call center for one year, which deals with debit cards for Barclays Bank in the UK. So I know how charges are processed, when they r processed, ,n most of all, How we can avoid them.... So , take care,n hope everythin gets sorted out for u, n ur family. Good luck hun!!!

I'm glad that you've taken the first step towards working you way through your financial issues. Usually, the first step is the hardest.
We've all had money issues at some point or other. I know we have, and yes, we've had HUGE arguments about it from time to time. We're just starting to get back on our feet after a very lean year.
So long as both of you are pulling in the same direction, you'll grow stronger as a team and working out the solutions to the problems will become easier and easier.
I wish you the very best of luck.

Well, It's just so nice to know that there was a positive side to this story. Although, I had given some earning links which you will find on the 4th page #36 very cool to know that mylotians are willing to help in everyway to make things somewhat better. There's always some positve light at the end of the darkness..

Oh mama4kids, I don't think I was able to respond to your previous thread, I'm lost. But this thread gave me an idea of what you're going through. You did the right thing in cutting off your credit cards for the meantime. I have a friend who also had the same dilemma as yours. He and the bank agreed that he can pay all his credit card debt within two years. He now has 2 months left to pay off all his debt. Be strong, mama4kids. We all have to struggle with money matter everyday.

I am glad you are working things out with your husband, financial strain can really hurt a marriage. Bravo on tearing the credit cards up, I don't have any and don't want any, I have enough problems without them.
Just taking a small step like that can put you in the right direction, you'll get out of this mess, it will just take some time.

Oh mama4kids I am soooo happy for you, I remember when you posted about how you hated your husband and I told you things were going to get better and look whats happened. You & him talked things over and decided to work as a TEAM cause thats what you are when your married so now atleast you see part of the rainbow coming out after the storm.
I feel like I know you because I am truly happy that you took the time to work on your problems, they can always be solved if you talk them out.
Im still rooting for you & your family all the way!
