Morning chick that sounds really positive for your hubby. I know minimum wage isn't great but it will be a good stop gap till he gets something else.
My ex worked in a factory for about 4 months on minimum wage, he just kept looking and then eventually got into the Police. The money was dire but bills were paid which is the main thing.
How are you feeling, any better?Proud to be dealing with my debts - DFW No: 712
