Frustrated with Husband concerning economic situation?
He complains all the time, and generally mopes around about how bad our economic situation is because we're both tied to temporary jobs (his is set to end before the summer). We're both college grads getting by on ten dollars an our apiece. We live below the poverty line, as we also have a child in daycare. We are not on any kind of government assistance and get absolutely no outside financial assistance, not even babysitting, as we don't live around any family. He has a STEM degree, recent grad, and works "in" engineering (but is an intern/contract) and I have a degree in a Foreign Language and work on the insurance side of the medical field. Full time hours, no benefits of any kind. What do you suggest we do to better our economic standing? Right now my husband is registered for an actuarial exam as he dreams of becoming an actuary (his background is weather forecasting) and in my case, i'm open generally to anything that offers secure pay. We don't have ANY credit card debt (we've never owned credit cards), we do have student loan debt, and we've got hospital debt (no health insurance for the last 4 years). We don't owe anything on our raggedy (200k miles plus) vehicles, and my car is about to break down. our only "superfluous" bill is internet, but i would argue that we need that to stay connected to job opportunities, as there's only one library in our town and it's NOT nearby, and we have NO transit system in our town. Thanks in advance for your help!
spell check edit: "hour apiece" instead of "our"
My question specifically is "What do you suggest we do to better ourselves economically?"
