I was reading a newspaper online the other day and came across an article explaining when and how I was going to receive my “economic stimulus” tax refund. According to my social security number, my check will be mailed to me on May 9. We should get $1800, $600 each for my wife and I and $300 each for my two children. While $1800 is not a huge amount of money, it is a nice chunk of change to throw at our debt.

Sadly I have been taking my own advice regarding employment and have been looking for it.
I was downsized a couple of weeks ago and have been scrambling to find employment.
The loss of my job was unexpected and obviously my family and I are in no position to take our time looking for work as you can imagine.
I have several really nice offers on the table, but none that would pay me the salary I was making with my last employer. We aren’t panicing yet as we have several sources of outside income but debt repayment will be severly hampered as I decide what to do with my career next.
