Who stays and who goes?

There are always ways around tough times, but you have to be willing to lower your standards just a bit and do whatever it takes to make things right. There are tons of odd & end jobs that one can do without needing a whole lot of education, experience, or start up money if you really want to keep your head above water. I have delivered pizzas, detailed autos, cut lawns, made and sold woodcrafts and lawn furniture, and there are always other things that one can do without having to kill yourself or be a rocket scinentist to figure it out. You can go out with a vehicle and collect wood downed tree limbs and cut it up for firewood and sell it by the bundle right outside your own home. I love the toy collection I have and as long as there is food on the table I am keeping my stuff. Tell the wife to go out and take on a second job. We tell our kids if they want pocket money to get off their butts and go cut lawns or wash cars for spending $$$. They actually do pretty well on their own. It teaches them self respect and independance. Don't let the wifey over run you with crap like that. You have to put your foot down and let her know who is the king of your castle.
