My family is really hurting for money right now.
My husband just got laid off and we have three kids to feed.
I have a good job, but it will not be enough money to support my whole family until my husband can find another job. He hasn’t even started looking for a new job yet and was laid off over two weeks ago. I know that he is upset, but I really need his help to support our family financially. My husband is a really hard worker so I do think it will be hard for him to get a job, but he needs to stop being lazy and take action to find a new one. While he is out of work, I am doing everything I can around the house to save money. That is why when I saw our energy bill was double this month I was a little bit concerned. I had been really good about not letting the air conditioner run all day and I didn’t turn the heat on at night. So I called a local HVAC company to come out and look at our HVAC system to make sure that nothing bad was going on. The HVAC technician told me that our thermostat wasn’t working properly and was displaying the wrong temperature. This meant that while I thought the air conditioner was turned down, it really was not and we were wasting money the whole time. I am glad I caught this before it started to get out of hand!
