I just had a couple questions about how to get out of credit card debt and kind of stay afloat with mine and my husband's fluctuating income.

All right. Bring it on. What's going on?

So we have $2, $2,300 worth of credit card debt, which is a big hurdle that we have right now.

However, it's super hard to pay it off, considering that our incomes fluctuate so much.

He could bring home anywhere from $1,600 to $4,000 a month, and I can bring home anywhere from $1,400 to $1,600 a month.

What do you all do?

He works for a warehouse here in town, but the pay is competitive and it's based off of work.

And the attendance bonus can either double or cut your check in half depending on if you were there the entire time or if you had to miss a day for any reason.

And I work for UPS.

Okay. So if he shows up to work, he'll make $4,000?

Yes. So among other things like it's based off of hourly, so it starts at $15 an hour,

and the attendance bonus is an extra $5 an hour.

So why wouldn't, I don't understand why it's not like school.

I mean, just stay there.

Why would you lose that?

Yeah, well, I mean, for instance, he missed a day a month ago because I had a call 911 for our son.

Well, that's different.

We've worked to come home out.

Yeah, that's not the everyday occurrence, but that's a once in a year or two or five that would happen.

Yes, but it still affects the attendance bonus.

Okay.
