In reply to Does Money Make You Happy or At Least Having Enoug, posted by Phillipa on August 19, 2005, at 20:04:10
Like the saying goes "money doesn't make you happy... it just makes life easier." My husband has been out of work and back in school for 3 1/2 years now. Since then, I've had to move in w/ a family member - but I do take care of her (elderly woman); and trade in my new car for a lesser value. My husband gets so stressed b/c he knows that his not making any money, is stressing us both; I just prefer to not tell him everytime I receive a bank statement about a bounced check. We live check to check; just like I grew up. But I know that when he finishes school, we'll be better off (paying the bills that is); not necessarily happier. I've learned to live with it as the norm; and adjust my life (as much as possible). I hope that you or your husband may find some financial assisstance from the government/state or a small job, payable by cash to help you both out.
