Yesterday everyone at my workplace was informed that as of today (October 1st), we'd be receiving a 10% pay cut for at least the next six months, at which time the company would "re-evaluate." I am pretty upset, a little freaked out, a little bit angry. I tell myself we'll be ok (and I do believe we will be), but it will be tight. And maybe even scary.
I wasn't at work when the announcement was made - I was working from home, spending extra time with Katie and Annabel. And one thing about kids, and especially babies, is that it's easy to look at their happy faces and forget that money matters very much at all. You say, "As long as we're together," and "as long as we're healthy." And you mean it.
