I truly don't know what my wife and I are going to do. I can't seem to hold down a job for more than a year at a time, and when I do have work there is nothing left beyond bills, food, and car. It's just too much.

Just cause no one else has said it yet, that sounds really rough and hang in there.

I've heard too many stories of dual-income households that still can't seem to make ends meet inspite of everything. I wish there were some answer beyond "just move" I could offer, especially when there's nothing left after bills in the first place to contribute towards an immigration plan. Take care of yourselves and I hope something manages to turn out.
