FH and I are really struggling with the post marriage living situation. We are still young so our credit isn’t good enough to get a loan for a house and we’re barely making enough to pay for more than our bills each week so rent will be hard to add on top of that. FH has been looking for a new job since obtaining his certifications but he hasn’t had any luck. I never went to college so I don’t have skills in anything so getting a new job has proven difficult. We’ve discussed living with our parents for a while but neither of us get along with each other’s parents enough so we’re trying to avoid that situation. Anyone have any advice for how to handle this?

    I agree with all the great suggestions already offered, including this one about reading up on budgeting and financial planning. Daughter and SIL have LOVED the Dave Ramsey books. I think they started with Total Money Makeover and then read Financial Peace -- any library should have them (or look for a free PDF online...). They read them together and have been using the strategies for a couple of years now. When you and fiance have a clear plan and are on the same page, it will be so much easier to work toward achieving your goals. Good luck! Smiley heart
