I feel your pain. I and my wife were both out of work for >6 months due to illness. That was a couple years ago and the bleeding that started then is killing us. We had a lot of savings for emergencies like that but the shit that happened was more expensive than anyone could ever expect.
We're now making 140% of how much we made before that, but now all the bills are a month (or more) late and we're struggling just to figure out a way to catch up. I want to keep the house, I need to keep the truck, the economy car pays for itself even with gas prices down (long commute and aging truck that needs repairs), we've cut all our bills as much as possible, and after a recent string of expensive unexpected home maintenance and medical emergencies we're up shit's creek with a turd for a paddle.
Needless to say, if there's a Camaro in my future, it's not going to be brand new when they first show up on dealer lots.
