    You all are the best thanks for letting me complain and for helping me feel better.

    I truly am thankful that he still has a job. I guess I also get so mad at myself for being so careless with money when there is plenty of it. I wish I had saved more etc. Human nature I guess. So I'm not as upset about the things we will have to give up as I am about the money we could have saved had we been more frugal to begin with.

    To which I would say, "It's OK to be mad at yourself. It's also OK to forgive yourself."

    Not as much as you think. My parents were both born in the 'Teens. They lived through a lot of very bad times, as did many of their friends. They all told stories about getting that "wake-up call" just like yours.

    What I remember is that they learned fast. They always saved a little, no matter how little they made. They made their own fun: reading circles, fraternal organizations, community activities, church, school, dances, whatever came around -- even just sitting in the back yard of an evening with a few friends drinking beer or iced tea and telling stories.

    My childhood was not prosperous but it wasn't poor, and I had those lessons in the background to fall back on when I hit my own hard times.

    Build a support network, if you haven't. I think we'll all get through this if we all stick together.

    And for the immediate pain, fear and worry: my sympathies go out to you and your family. Be of good heart, and have hope.
