I feel for both you guys. I remember trying to outwit the phone co. so they wouldn't shut off my long distance and scrounging through my vehicle and apartment for change so I could go buy a bag of rice for dinner. (I discovered Hot & Now about then. Terrible food, but you could get a meal for under $2.) Can either of you sell your skills independently? I've been an independent contractor for eight years and it's changed my life completely.

Hang in there.
