At that point, you need to make health insurance a priority. One relatively minor illness could trash your whole financial life. You are insuring your stuff - your car and your belongings - and yet you aren't insuring the single most important asset you have - your body. I would find out how much insurance will cost through your husband's job and come back to us with that info to see how it fits into the budget.

That is an excellent plan for the CC.. I am crossing my fingers I can do this.. It's going to be a big lifestyle change. We're pretty frugal but we buy a lot of crap sometimes when we should wait until we're better off financially.
I plan on getting health insurance once we get a cheaper mortgage or rent for cheaper. Thankfully there is a mobile health clinic funded by a church that sees people for free (but i would donate) in my area that I plan to use if I get sick.
