OK can some one help me with this one? I cant be the only person in this boat. My husband and I both attended college and we both have Farley good paying jobs. But for some reason we are still running into financial difficulties. We are not living high on the hog by no means. We don't eat steak and Lobster every night. Neither one of us are driving foreign sports cars. But it just seems like we cannot get a head. We are forking out a lot of money for our only child to attend the best school possible in our area. I work full time and deliver news papers in the early hours as a part time job. My husband works full time and Delivers pizza at night as a part time job also. We are working our selves to death and it seems like we are doing it for no reason. It almost pays more not to work at all. At least we would get to see each other. I am a firm believer that financial problems cause 90 percent of divorces these days. We considered moving out of the state of Florida due to the cost of living being so high. But we don't want to give up the little that we have gotten from our hard work. We neither one are huge spenders, We are actually quite tight with our money. I understand we could invest money into something, But it takes having money to be able to invest it. anyone have any good idea's? We are already on a budget so that is of no use to us. Any other advise would be greatly appreciated.
