Hi everyone!

As a seasoned Registered Nurse, I can attest to massive burnout! I worked two jobs, both full time and was not to pleasant to be around at the end of the week. Needless to say, my gas tank was empty. I needed a positive change. I found this company that centers around the “pay it forward” philosophy. It has been so awesome, and needless to say, I don’t work two jobs anymore. Check out the website or call me at 1-800-775-0728. I will be happy to share what I know. God Bless!

Due to the increasing rate of inflation I was working at two jobs. So by the time I would come back home I would be tired and exhausted and was unable to cook food for my kids. So Jeffpaull.tv gave me a means of earning from home where I could lookafter my children as well as earn.

If you have everything under control, you won’t worry about the situation. That is true in any phase of live and personl finance is no exception.

If you are constantly worrying about where your next bill payment is going to come from, you need to take control by making yourself smarter about your finances and solutions. PT Money is always a good place to start.

@Kin – I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I pray that you and your family are able to get back to work soon and/or stabilize your income with benefits. Great thing that you had an e-fund built up. I’m sure you guys will land on your feet.

@Chelsea – Thanks for stopping by. Btw, I’m planning on signing up with Quicken Online in 2009 so I can do a review here on the blog.

Oh, and I meant to add, I have already cut our expenses by $600 a week. There’s not much more I can cut out.

Well my Hubby has been out of work for 3 weeks now. Thanks to our emergency fund we can live for another 8 weeks before we’re destitute.

We have no consumer debt, we rent, we have an investment property loan that costs us $550 a month. I went for a job interview yesterday that would not even cover our rent and investment loan. It would, however, extend the time until Hubby would have to find a job.

We can’t get benefits yet because the company has gone into administration and we need to “wait” for them to sort out termination paperwork, bla bla bla.

Sorry, I’m worried. Come the end of February we’re looking at moving in with our in-laws because we won’t be able to afford our own place then.

Hi @ptmoney,

Chelsea from Quicken Online here. Thanks for your tips, they’re unique and helpful, especially about revisiting if you’re properly insured. I think as we make major life changes, or even minor ones like taking the train to work instead of driving each day, this is especially important.

I wanted also to mention QuickenOnline.com. With our redesign in November, we integrated forward-looking features, like the spending outlook chart. Quicken Online identifies your financial obligations and bills over the next couple of paychecks to help you gauge that “what’s left” number. Also free!

- Chelsea, Quicken Online

I have to admit that I not only care about my finances, but I also worry about them. The current economic crisis is bad enough to scare anybody. By the looks of it, nobody really has a handle on it. All kinds of things can get even worse than they are right now. I want to be aware of and prepared for an even worse scenario. Sorry, but I am worried. I think many of the old rules of personal finance will not apply in the future. One rule will hold true through all times though: spend less than you make.
