Yeah it is surprising how little you can live on when you have to, especially when it is temporary.  I lost a really, really good job due to drug use etc. 8 years ago and I have never gotten anything comparable... and we're able to make it on a lot less, although my husband wishes it weren't so (he got used to my income).   I don't have my whole life ahead of me like you guys do, though, so I know you'll make it.

Sounds like you are positive about everything.  Hang in there.  It might not sound like much money, but if your wife can supplement then you can get by.

We had to go over the family expenses and trim all of the fat, and even some of the meat.  My wife started back at school now that the boys are all in school, and the savings we had that let her stay at home are gone. 

I worried about my kids having less, but as long as they have the basics they survive.  I think the benefit of having their mother at home weighs against it as well.  Your wife can look into saving by cooking more as well.  There are things you can do that take time, but cost less.  Being around the house lets her take advantage of that.

Thanks Z. Your advice is special in a way because you are a married man with children, as am I.

But everyone's advice here is seriously appreciated. Means so much to me to know that I have a solid support system here!

As for trimming the fat, I know whatcha mean. Luckily, we have a lot of savings and quite a decent amount of money in our checking account. We are very frugal when it comes to a lot of expenses.

Our splurges used to be my car restoration and motorcycle restoration projects. That is over though, and I'm glad. It was too hard on my back and wallet.

It did hurt to sell my recently acquired jeep grand cherokee srt8. We actually sold my wife's lexus gx and got her a 2014 grand cherokee laredo with only 36k miles on it and no accidents. We got a lot for her trade-in and she wanted a new model vehicle anyways as hers was getting older. She kept great care of it and doesn't drive far or much at all really, so it only had 52 k on it after many years of us owning it.

No car payments now. We had to finance our home but put a lot down so our payment is fairly low. We don't plan on making this our lifetime home whatsoever though. We want a bigger home at some point when I have a job making better money, like 50k.

 I got rid of a lot of my guns recently too. I started 2014 with 80 something. Started 2015 with about 50. Now I have 10 or 11 left and won't be buying anymore for a long time, except maybe a new handgun or two in a year or so, maybe sooner. I just love me some handguns, despite having 7 of em right now.


Anyhow- our monthly expenses are relatively low so things are looking up somewhat. I hope one day I land a great job and can move us into the home we've always wanted in a really good suburb.

Glad things are looking up
For you Monk
I love that you can see
The good
In the difficulty you have been thru
That's what I try to do

I hope things only get better for you

Holy shit about how many guns you had
We have a few
I REALLY REALLY want
A Desert Eagle .50 cal
Israeli Military issue
The one I want tho
Is $5,000
And at this point I cannot justify
Spending that much on a handgun

Many props to you Monk
You IMO are a true vet because you were in the shit. ( had a nephew who was in Korea during the war and says he is a vet. Not in my book)
You over came that and numerous other reasons to use.
All very legitimate and hard.
And are getting sober/maintenance.

Not an easy task. Even if you had all the support in the world.
You would still be fighting a up hill battle.

You give me hope. That this next try me and DoD  we might succeed.

My problems are  petty when it comes to what you are overcoming.

I guess it's a testament to soldiers all around.
How really strong you guys are.
So hats off to you.
You deserve all the success and respect in the world.
I hope there is a karma monster and you get what you want in spades.

Thanks for your support. It means so much 2 me y'all. I had a Desert Eagle. It's really just a novelty firearm and not fun to shoot in my book. My favorite large caliber handgun to shoot is a .454 Casull. But quite frankly- I enjoy simple firearms.

My favorite handguns are my xd9,my cz99, and zastava m88a. They are all reliable, fun to shoot, highly efficient 9mm's. I have said before I think that I only carry 9mm handguns and actually do not own any 357's, 45's or 40s (I hate 40's- worst handgun cartridge in my book but that would take a small essay to explain why). My wife carries a smith and wesson airweight 38 and my daily carry is either my keltec p3at 380 or my xd9.

Sorry about the derail - I love firearms and can talk about em all day. But I never have fucked with the gun forums. I do enjoy lurking on one though- the highroad. Ar15 is full of morons.

Thanks man. I appreciate those words- especially considering the lack of respect the current administration (especially the republicans in the senate/house) has for veterans lately.

I am steadfastly supporting Bernie Sanders. http://vetsforbernie.org/

That man has the nuts it takes to change stuff with the VA and for vets in general. Not to mention the BS state of healthcare in this country as a whole and income inequality/a fucked up distribution of wealth today. I think overwhelming amounts of TX vets are actually supporting him, at least the vets I know.

Oh and opie cunningham- I see you follow this thread regularly but never post- I remember your name from the phile but you didn't ever post there either I don't think. What's up man? You should introduce yourself!

Take homes make the difference in stability, and making methadone work.  For those of us with jobs and families, we can't go yo a clinic every day.  Hopefully he approves it.
