<prompt> Human: I never knew something like this could happen to me and I was so close to finally being out of debt. My s.o. and I planned out a year ago to pay down our credit card debt about 10k about a month ago we finally succeeded and we were so proud of ourselves, we thought we achieved the unachievable: paying off our 10,000 debt. And after a month we were finally on our way to build our 3 month emergency fund. This past week I find out my hours got cut at my job from 40 hours down to 25 losing all my benefits. It is soul crushing. But, thats not the worst. My s.o. has been put on unpaid suspension for a false accusation someone made at her job and she might likely not hey her job back. I dont know how much worse our situation cant get. Im so depressed but Im trying to be the strong one. But its so hard. I have no clue what our how we are going to make it next month. We were so close.We had a 4000 a month income and expenses were about 3000. Now we are down to 800 a month income. Im sorry for the rant. Im not even sure what Im expecting writing this. Im just so lost and confused.  <response>: Sorry to here that, hope it works out. My advice... Just make a prioritized budget each month for the income you do receive. Have her get some income coming in babysitetc until landing something else. Get a 2nd job quickly and start looking for a better full time job as well.
