Just need to vent!

Sometimes I just get so frustrated, yet when I try to vent to my husband he just sits there and says nothing. I know he is just being quiet so that he doesn't make me angry, say the wrong thing, or no know what to say in general. Sometimes I really wish he would chime in though.

I am frustrated right now with the economic situation, and financial situation we have slowly fallen into. It isn't that we have spent irresponsibly, but that with one income, things had to change, and we maybe didn't change things soon enough.  I don't feel so much like we are drowning anymore, like I did about 3 months ago. Things are still not great and we are still making changes. I have learned a lot about where I can cut and save. I have learned to pinch pennies with the best of them. There are still many more things we can do, and we are working on doing more. One of the things I wanted to do was to trade in the jeep and get something we would have lower payments, lower gas bill, and lower insurance on. The downside to this situation is that we were so incredibly upside down on the hubby's truck we traded in for the jeep we have negative equity still lingering over our heads. Due to falling behind our credit rating has went down as well.  The combination of the two things have made this change nearly impossible. I'm still going to research a couple more options that we may have.

I just don't know what else to do. Thankfully it looks like there may be more job opportunities slowly coming available which would help if I could find something. I had a phone interview for one that is an awesome SAH position making decent $$$ part time. Fingers crossed!!! Everyone say some prayers!
