I confess that even though I lost my job in March, I don't really have the desire to look for a new one. I'm kind of enjoying the "not working" thing. FI told me to take the summer off and enjoy, but I'm worried that once September comes, I'm still not going to want to look for one.

would you be able to afford your DW (along with life's normal expenses) if you didn't go back to work (without going into debt)? i think if you'd be alright with one less paycheck, that might be why you're not feeling a sense of urgency about it. that said, my company isn't doing too well, and DH keeps asking me if i've started looking yet (even tho i currently still have my job), and i can't bring myself to do it.

I mean granted he has a better job now and we moved to CA (where i grew up) from Boston and I love being back in the bay area but I feel liek Im wasting my time in this job and its about to get SUPER stressful

I already have enough saved for our whole wedding on my own! We're in a really good situation financially, which is why he told me to take the summer off. I'm getting severance and unemployment through the end of July, then unemployment. We could probably go a while without me working, the biggest thing will be my health insurance, which with COBRA will be $500/month. He is a consultant so he has private ins and pays $300 for his....

I think it's because I've never NOT worked and I've always been on my own taking care of myself. It's weird for me to think someone else is going to help me.

We did the same thing. You are definitely not alone. Actually, I did tell my Mom ... but no one else knows!

PS - Jaime ... I am a military wife as well. How long is Brandon deployed for? I know how hard it is. If you ever need to vent - just let me know!

 

My DH left for Iraq a week after we got engaged and was in Iraq for 14 months. He goes back in April 2010 ... and is currently in training til mid-July. UGH....

Tami- It's nice to know I'm not alone! He'll be in Iraq for 12 months... he's been gone for a month and a half now. I miss him so much! He will be out of the army for good just a couple months after he gets back from Iraq. I can't wait. I'm just looking forward to his R&R now... although we don't know when that will be!

Ah, Jaime, I can totally relate! DH is in the Army too. He has 17 years in, so once he gets back from his next stint in Iraq, it'll be about time to retire. He is in the Reserves, but is a Major now so he is pretty active and busy with that, as well as his regular FT job.

 

Hopefully the time will go by fast for you! Has he been deployed before since you guys have been together?

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
