This is a very interesting subject for me right now since losing my DH a couple of weeks ago. My income has been cut down by 2/3 and I am having to completely change my mode of living. I have it figured out and can make it when I get all of the junk cut out(cable, cell phone, lower house payment {re-fi}, dropping a couple of insurance policies, eating out, etc. ). I am going solo and it is rather frightening. But, also, I want to prove to myself that I can.

My girls are SAHMs and I worry about them because they totally depend on their husbands. I think that they should be able to stay home, but times have so changed.
