Answer 1

You don't say if you're employed . A job can help you fill your time and help with financial problems . You're husband will be back . Look at this time as nothing more than a break . It will be very sweet when he returns.  Be at peace . life will continue . We all have ups and downs .  

Answer 2

The fastest way to make money is sell gold. Gold is at it's highest right now so you can make some nice money off of things you don't wear. Another way is just take random things and list them on ebay or sell them on craigslist untill you find a 2nd job. I know what it's like to be in that position but there is nothing you can really do untill you get another job besides sell some stuff.

Have a garage sale with old clothes and junk people will buy it and youll make some good money.

Place a flyer around your neighborhood to walk there dogs,nanny, or housekeeper.

Whatever works; works.

Best wishes to you.

Have to say, hard to be specific why u are having money troubles. I'd suspect that with him gone, it's not that he's gone that the money, as army pay is normally really nice.. but more management. I'd say a part-time job might be in order if you do not have one allready...

Answer 4

I'm sorry you are sad.  I feel that way too sometimes, and I have money problems too, if it's any consolation.  The best thing for me is to get outdoors.  Hopefully, the sun will be shining, which always cheers me up.  But even if it's not, go to a favorite place, or if you don't have one, at least a place that is pleasant and will make you feel happy.  Parks are good, but if you like people watching, anywhere is really okay.  If you can get your mind off your troubles, even if it's only for a little while, it will do you some good.

Often, money is the thing which is focused on, when there are underlying problems in relationships. RELATIONSHIPS: go to http://www.relationshiptalk.net/forums/a...  and http://www.relationshipweb.com and http://www.relationship-affairs.com/your...   and BOARDS, at http://www.mental-health-today.com/ptsd/... and http://www.kasamba.com/ may be worth a look as well.

   TIPS ON FINANCES. TURN YOUR FINANCES AROUND: 100's OF TIPS, in section 99, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and motivation is addressed in section 28. Use the free counselling services available through the marines (for what they're worth: some are OK).

In my opinion, military training dehumanises, and brutalises people. Then they're put in positions of danger, and many who survive, uninjured develop PTSD (sections 33 - 34) or other problems, and are often provided with 2nd rate treatment, to save money.

That opinion, that the military chews people up, and spits them out, without due care, has been confirmed here at Y!A, so be on the lookout for the signs when he returns.

Answer 6

well i am in the army and when i was gone for a month i made base pay, housing allowance for being away and since you are married you should get seperation pay <that pays for both of you having to buy the same things soap toothpaste ect.>  just have to wait till the first and the 15th.

but maybe you should add a little more to your question it is extremely open and maybe if you narrowed it down you would find the answer you are looking for...

or maybe if this will help have a yard sale or advertise on craigslist to sell something you don't really need, you'll be amazed at what people will buy. donate blood or plasma hey it desperate times you'll do some of this stuff .. i did.. hope it helps

Answer 7

Do YOU want to take control of things?  Anyway, just know you need to get a plan together to take action. Your husband is a soldier and nothing is more difficult that other things he has been through. He is an American soldier and those type of people just finds ways to move forward and MAKE a way. Please don't ignore anything, maybe make some calls to see about help while he is away to take some burden off him?
