Go back to my old job?! Husband unemployed!
So my husband has been unemployed for about 9 months now. He's had a couple temp assignments, but that's about it. (He'll argue otherwise) But he really wasn't heavily looking for a job until last month. The month he got laid off, he wasn't looking, the month he had the temp assignment he wasn't looking, and October and November 2018 he wasn't looking because he does psephology as a serious side hobby. Anyways, he's STILL looking and has had a lot of interviews as of late, but no bites. He has been able to pay his half of the bills until now because he's run out of all his money.
Well I still have some savings, but my paycheck alone cannot pay all our bills. I have a few options and want to know what you would do in my situation.
Option 1: Work two jobs. I used to work two jobs earlier last year until my husband made me quit my part time. I did inventory, I liked it, but you lose sleep doing it. I would be falling asleep at my full time job all the time.
Pro: Be able to afford my car payment
Con: Lack of sleep, less free time.
Option 2: Sell my car. I have two cars, and one I own outright, the other I pay on, and it's a significant payment. Only problem is it's on a lien and underwater slightly, as in if I sold it, I would have to take out my savings to pay the difference of whatever I sold it for.
Pro: Less bills.
Con: I can't drive far with the car I own as I don't want it to break down on the highway. And it will lower my husband's job options.
Option 3: Coincidently, I just had my previous employer ask me if I want to come back. Which I really don't, there was so much wrong about the management and environment there, that's why I left. But the pay would be about twice what I make now, and I didn't have to pay a premium for the health insurance they provided, which I do now.
Pro: More money, can pay all the bills plus extra. Don't have to wait on my husband to get a job.
Con: Stressful work, bosses can be rude and condescending. Lots of overtime required.
What should I do? I need to find a way to pay all my bills next month!!!! 🤔😫
