Food is taken care of (we have Food Stamps). Our other monthly expenses RIGHT NOW include rent and utilities, plus gas and baby items.

Once we have jobs, we will have cable, childcare, and savings to consider as well. I am hoping we can tackle our debts without sacrificing our savings. That is my first priority at this point because of our lack of savings in the past. I've learned that it is essential.
