July 1st I will be offically out of a job.  I have worked outside of the home for 30 years and this will be a new experience for me.  My husband is disabled and has become increasingly more dependent on outside care during the day.  I have been paying a care giver big bucks to sit w/my husband so it is w/great thought and prayer I have decided I am needed more at home than I need to work outside the home.  My question is, are there any members that are stay at home wives and care givers as well?  We have no children at home so it wil only be myself and my husband who needs me.  I know we can live on what he draws from SSI and his small pensions it will be tight but enough if I watch our pennies. I am frugal by nature and have learned so much from this board.  I have a budget made up and will draw unemployment that I plan on saving.  I hope to stay home w/my husband as long as possible so I need all the cheerleaders I can get!   Any support would be greatly appreciated!!!! Any tips would be appreciated as well!
