H has an interview for a building sub a job. We hope he gets. If that happens we no longer get EBT or SSI. We will get a copay Medicaid and still qualify for HUD so we'll be making a little bit more than 2x our current income after taxes. We signed up for the Fss program ahead of time so we can use that money for school and debts then save for a house. We need to make $74,450+ to qualify for the homeowners program.

That won't happen until after we both finish school. He's decided to go after educational leadership which means he'll go after his edD. This should take him 4 years to do. While he's doing that he's going to hopefully be a building sub. So he'll have 13 years in alternative education and 4 years in the public school system.

Me I've applied to two schools and got accepted so far into 1. If I get into both I'll do both part time so in 6 years I'll have both degrees and 8 years I'll have my master's. If I can add a minor to one degree I'll drop the other school. I'd really like to just do full time at one school but I need all 3 concentrates to be comfortable going after the masters or into the field. One school I have to take up through calc 3, the other school I have to become fluent in another language. So they both are going to be hard. But I can do this. If I can't pay for the second school I won't go there and stick to the computer science school. I need to get A's because I want to go to Georgia tech for my master's.

We have a lot of plans and 5 years to make it happen. Along with paying off debt, buying a home, and finishing school we want to help family out.

What if we fail we're taking a quarter of the take home pay and putting it in an able account. That's not a lot but should get us through until we can get back on assistance. My biggest worry is when we make over x amount and loose all assistance but by then we should be settled. I'm so excited this has been a long time coming.
