He took the job

DH contacted his employer this week to let them know his last day is Saturday. In the trucking industry, drivers come and go like a revolving door. What we didn't expect was they took his load from him and left him sitting in the wind today. No load assigned to him, he doesn't get paid. Nice huh? Not overly worried about it though. We have money stored back in case of emergencies. This is just a bump in the road.

As for the new job. That one I hope is all it was promised it would be. If Dh drives as many miles as promised, we will have a debt snowball of $868 per month. A friend of mine asked me if I have played with the budget yet with this new job. *smiles big* She knows me so well. Of course I have. Buffing up a couple envies. I'm finding that when we have all our categories funded, the budget works much much better.

So, back to the snowball. If I don't work and we have that kick butt snowball. We will be debt free by Spring next year. Credit card free by Nov. Is that cool or what? Talked to DH and we both think that if I work part-time say at a bank or something like that and work 20-24 hrs a week. That extra will go to the snowball too and/or say a fund to buy a new to use vehicle for DH. Probably the latter. Until the jobs start picking up here we will just have to wait.
