Woes of married life

One big adjustment of being married is realizing that you are responsible for your significant other’s bills as well as your own. This normally isn’t a big deal but it seems that Jonathan and I both have medical bills so that just means we are even more so in debt than before. Thanks to my crappy school schedule and his back injury, we’re currently having to live off of my financial aid and his SSI check until he is cleared by his doctor which hopefully will happen next doctor’s visit.

I really hope he can find a job once cleared that has benefits. He has Medicare since he is on SSI but I have no insurance. I don’t think I qualify for Medicaid but I am going to try to apply anyways. A health savings account just isn’t an option for us either. Since I have medical problems, it’s a necessity that I have some type of insurance and especially if we are hoping to try to start a family soon. That’s yet another reason we are hoping his doctor clears him. We can’t really move on with our life or even move out of my mom’s house until we have a substantial amount of monthly income which we currently do not have. Hopefully things will get better and his doctor will clear him. I am really trying to not give up hope but I’m slowly losing my faith.
