[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry you have to deal with this.  It must be so hard for you and the kids.

-Sell a car now and make the proceeds your emergency fund.

-Take 1/2 life insurance payout and save it or put it in low cost index funds.

-Don't touch retirement accounts until 59.

-Get a job as soon as kids go back to school in August.

Do you have any savings from before you became a SAHM?  Parental help?  Siblings?  How old are you?  30s?  40s?  Kids age?[/quote]

Thank you for the helpful advice. I have about $2k to my name right now in my personal acct. My parents might help financially if I really needed it. They are not local and too old to provide any physical help like babysitting. No local family at all. I have a sister on the west coast. Husband’s family isn’t local either. Everyone is a plane ride away. I’m in my 40s. Kids are 4, 6, and 9. I’ve lived and worked in the DC area for 20 years so I do have very close friends who are extremely supportive and helpful.
