My husband starts classes in the fall full time, as well.
We are barely making ends meet on my income.
My doctor wants me to cut back my hours, but we cant afford it.
We dont want to file for bankruptcy, and were trying not to go on any government programs.
Any advice for a couple off to a bit of a rocky start?

Dear S.,
Getting married is challenging.
Being young and newly married even more so.
I got married three weeks into my freshman year of college.
So if everything feels impossible for you right now, its probably because it kind of is.
So many of us are not prepared to be fully functioning adults when we leave home.
And then you have to be a functioning adult in the same house as another newly functional adult?
Its ripe for conflict.
Filing for bankruptcy at 20 is probably not a viable option.
No Interest Til Almost 2027?
The government assistance program is designed for working adults with limited assets.
You could also consider dropping down to half-time status at school.
If you dont talk about whats worrying you, itll eat away at you both.
It sounds appealing right?
