We had to make some hard decisions in the last year. We gave up our car. We hated that POS with a passion, and it was forever causing us trouble, so we had it voluntarily repo'd. We walked away from our house, not the most practical decision but it was what we had to do.
We moved very quickly into an apartment, which was difficult without a car. The apartment gives us a small amount of extra money we didn't have before. We take the bus or walk everywhere including the grocery store. It seems like the day lasts so much longer since a lot of the worry has come off our shoulders.
We still have to finish the process and file bankruptcy, which we are not proud of but it's necessary. We could have a lot more money if I worked outside the house but I found a great job as a freelance journalist that doesn't always pay as much as we need but we can also afford to survive on Mike's income alone if necessary. We both are happy with the decision because it gives us more time together and it doesn't seem like we are always together since I work when he works.
We are also finally at a place where we feel like we are ready to have children. We have formed opinions on parenting and such that we never would have done if Nora and Edge had lived. We have been trying to have children the entire time but it just never happened. We are finally seeing a reproductive endocrinologist to help us with that issue and are confident that the third time's the charm for us.
