My husband and I became jobless in the same week

r/

Earlier this week, my husband found out his company is shutting down and he is out of a job. It’s a small family business and it’s not a pretty ending so it’s been pretty stressful figuring out our next move. He is already owed a paycheck and not sure where the next one is coming from.
I work part time and stay home with our daughter the other part. Today I got to work and was told I am being laid off. I have one month to figure out my next move. My world is spinning and I am so so scared for our future. We have another baby on the way we haven’t announced yet and that fact alone sends me into a spiral thinking about doing a job hunt. I haven’t had any sort of emotional release because I have to finish out my day still, but best believe when I get in that car to go home I’ll be a puddle.
Anyways sorry not sure my point here besides venting but if you are a believer, I’d appreciate you sending one up to the big guy for us 🙏🏻🥲

    Maybe your husband should hire a lawyer to get the paycheck more sooner to give y’all some time?

    I’m so sorry! That’s so stressful. Don’t forget about filing for unemployment to help tide you over.

    Keep your head up this is so difficult. Sometimes when things get tough I am mean to myself. This is your reminder nothing is your fault!!! 💜

    If you are in the US…Definitely have your husband contact the labor commission in your state. Then file for unemployment.

    Better put a seatbelt on! Just in case it might get a little rough but change is good you will be fine and just think new and exciting things headed your way.

    He should join the Air Force or Army. The benefits for family financial security is amazing.
