So, this is a first of many. My husband has Parkinsons and is able to still work. How much longer is up in the air! One of the things I wanted to do is to take our grandchildren to Disney before he retires or becomes disabled.
I have been laid off for a year. I deffinately want to contribute to the situation but at my age it is difficult to find anything out there. I have contacted 5 different temp agencies but no one has anything.
I suppose we are better off than some. As long as I watch what I spend I think we can handle the situation.
We recently moved into a smaller home so that is a help. I just finished adding all of the things on to the house that will make it comfortable for us. The last thing I would like to do is get rid of my four poster bed and get a lower bed for my husband. That will have to wait until the next year, but then I will need a new car. It just keeps adding up.
What's Next?

Welcome! This is a good place to be if your analyzing where you are and determining if where you want to go. I'm in a similar boat of looking for employment (part-time during the day) which is virtually non-existent. Otherwise, I'm a SAHM to a largish family and my DH is returning to school to prepare for a job in service. I know about having the list of things to accomplish while still having full-time income for an undetermined amount of time.

Also if your bed is in good shape try selling it and using the money to purchase a new bed.
I was laid off so I understand, I had started volunteering at an agency for about a year and then was finally hired, but in the meantime I still looked.
I hope this helps and I have my fingers crossed for you.
