No, he's working, but they are cutting back on overtime...he tried to work at least one day of overtime a pay period. He had a pay cut 4 years ago and only had a 1% raise 2 years ago. I haven't had a raise in 5 years. We make roughly the same amount of money.

In the last year, our house payment went up due to escrow, I had lots of medical bills (between my kidney stone and neck and hand issues), I got a used car that got better gas mileage for my new job (in January), and H got a new truck in July (because his Explorer literally fell apart).

We've always done fine and had money left over. In the last month, it's starting to crumble.
