My husband and I are in our late twenties. We made some impulsive financial choices when we first got married ... got two credit cards and to make a long story short, they're both around an $8k balance. The thing we never considered was that my husband was going to go back to college. He has one year left but neither of us make much. We make around 30K a year and just can't seem to make ends meet. Is there anyone out there that's been here before and now you're seeing a change? Can you give me tips? I must say first, we don't EVER EVER spend if it's not a necessity. We pay our basic bills: electric, rent, insurance, 1 car note and groceries and gas. We also give regular tithing to the church. We can't seem to pay our BIG bills also due to the fact that my husband lost his great paying job in March and was out of work over a month and a half. We have never caught up. Please, please help. We want to eventually get a house, but now our credit is screwed.
