That's gone, and we're now living on his unemployment benefits. He has applied for a ton of jobs, but nothing yet. We have $5,500 in credit-card debt that we've been paying off. What do we do now? With $275 a week and bills that need to be paid, we're wor- ried. We do not have a cell phone or a cable bill, and our home is paid in full. But how do we pay the credit cards and other bills, too? I stay at home and home-school our kids. What advice can you give us and others in the same boat? -- Susan, Florida Dear Susan: I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and I do have advice for you. But first, to every person reading this: Get prepared! Losing your job is always a possibility. This is the reason I nag you to get your Contingency Fund established -- so you have enough money to pay all your bills for at least three months (six is better), should your job take a hike. Here is the rule to follow if you don't have an emergency fund: Divide your expenses into Essen- tial and Nonessential.
