I got laid off at the beginning of the month, after 5 years with the company. Fortunately I was able to land another one, in my same town (that's a first for me). I start at the beginning of June. Unfortunately I'll be making $12K less a year, but at least I have a job.

I'm trying to work with Wells Fargo to renegotiate my mortgage. Our house is worth $90K less than we owe on it. And while we can afford the current mortgage, it leaves us with no working room in our budget now.
