Trip to see OTR husband, or pay bills
My husband and I are faced with a decision. He will be 450 miles from me for a week to test for his own truck. I am wanting to take the children and go up to see him, as we have not had "alone time" in over 3 weeks.
However, due to our current finances this would mean pushing a major bill (necessity) off one more week in order to make it happen. Said bill is already a month late. Do I take the trip and spend $180 or so or do I put that money towards bills? Just thought I'd get other truckers opinion, as most other people don't understand what its like to be apart that long. |
being apart has nothing to do with it, if it's a "necessity" and a "major bill" such as the mortgage, heat, electric, or food, then there is no way you should be even considering it. especially as you have kids who need a clean, warm safe place to live. why would you put that in jeopardy?

However, look at it this way.....you've waited 3 weeks so far (aside the 5 hours you spent with him recently) so what is 1 more week? At the same time, maybe, just maybe, your presence there when he is trying to test out may be more of a distraction than anything. Just be a trooper and hang in there one more week. Besides, from what I have read, it seems that most companies will route you through your home to get your truck loaded with personal effects. |

I you are willing to make the sacrifices of DH's time away from home now in order to get your bills caught up, and build a better life and a better future for yourself and your family, then for God's sake, don't sabotage yourselves now by allowing your bills to continue to go unpaid!!
I know that it's rough, but I also know that if you will stay the course, then a year from now, you will be happy that you made the sacrifices that you are making today!! |
Thanks for all the responses and logical advice. Just thought I'd post here also that our church has decided to cover the hotel price so that we can go, and to confirm that yes, it would be another 3 weeks before he would get back home otherwise.
My business efforts here were also able to turn up more than usual, allowing us the extra besides his paycheck to pay both bills, and be able to go spend time with him. Quote:
