My finances were strained when I was hit with this all at once. We usually payed all the bills with my paycheck and then used her paycheck for entertainment and savings.

So when her paycheck was no longer there and i was still paying all the bills with mine it was a shock. I also gave her the car that was completely payed off to help her since she doesnt make quite what i do. I am also looking at either refinancing the car or trading it in and getting a cheaper one, but it is currently upside down for probably the next year maybe 2. I am also looking at what I can cut back on i.e. what is a necessity or a luxury. However, I should be caught up by february and back in the black again.

For this reason the holidays are going to suck, but my relatives will understand. The only one getting a gift is my daughter.
