My husband received a letter in the mail today.
He did not get the government job.
Short Term Financial Effects:
We will be able to pay our bills at the same pace since he won’t have to take a large salary cut.
Long Term Financial Effects:
Possible unemployment in 6-8 months. No government pension and retirement healthcare.
We’re still positive. He’s working. I’m working. We’re paying our bills. We’re living below our means. The construction market has started to take an upward turn and his job has become a bit more stable. So, we went on a 20 mile bike ride, grilled some chicken, and had a glass of wine on the back patio.
In the big scheme of things… life is still pretty darn good.

That’s too bad. Maybe another opportunity will present itself. Or maybe life will continue as is. You guys will make it work either way.
