So apparently that feeling of remorse wasn't remorse but... of whats to come. I have been on unemployment since I lost my job June of last year, because of medical abscenes. I started to go to school, and stay home with Elijah, because it was actually netting us money overall. Today, Congress voted down the extension of the benefits. I don't have any more money. I have two options.
1. Go back to work and stop going to school... or cut back to two classes a semester instead of 6. I would graduate in 3.5 years, instead of 1.5. This would still be a loss compared to where we were, but we would have actual money coming in.
2. Stay in school on the route I am on. I would graduate in 1.5 years... but we wouldn't have a second income. We have been living beyond these means for about a year, and now... its smacking us in the face. It would be ultra tight.
Let me also say, unemployment wasn't jack for me. Barely anything, but it paid 2 bills, and that was enough to get us by. Now those two bills have to go on Joe's bills, and I don't know if we have the money for it...
And then there is the wedding. I had already cut it down so much that I don't know what to do. Maybe we will have to DIY hair and makeup even though we aren't good at that at ALL.
