It's time to binge watch Marissa's videos, you guys! If you're watching, put on one of her playlists while you're cleaning your house or listen while on your commute so she can have more views and income for December!

[@life_with_caroline]

its the ads watch all the ads don't skip that's how she gets paid

[@fatyel7580]

I started doing that already. Keep supporting her 👍

[@Edbeatty91]

I agree, keep putting out videos with ads and we will watch them!!

[@davisamills597]

Me tooo!!! I've been binge watching all of her videos 😅

[@PenniesNotPerfection]

Definitely!

[@chrissyr6388]

Marissa, your heart is so big..when you cried about having to pause the fund for the two children you support, I felt that. I know this must be EXTREMELY difficult right now, but somehow I really feel like the Lord is going to open up doors and blessings that are so much greater very soon. You are showing REAL life, and touching more people than you know. More times than not, life throws us curveballs, and it’s a great help to see someone, who is not only going through one but has also prepared herself and her family, for such a time as this. Stay encouraged Marissa, this season won’t last long. My family and I will be keeping your family in all our prayers. May the Lord pour out a blessings of peace, love, and finance upon you and your family. May you see him even greater in this season.🙏🏽

[@alwaysemilia]

I’m so sorry this is happening! This is why you’ve prepared, and I know you will be ok. In the meantime, I’m going to watch all your videos! If this sweet lady has ever given you a tip or inspired you, flood her with likes and comments or rewatch old content! We can help for free 😊

[@Beautydreamerforever]

Marissa I am so sorry. I haven’t even finished watching the video and I’m crying while listening. As a fellow believer I want to encourage you and your husband. God is faithful and is a God of provision. I will be praying for you and your family and that God will provide an even better job opportunity for your husband. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable and sharing this hard season with us. If there is anything as a viewer that we can do to support and help you let us know. ❤️

[@amaryeet]

I really hope you (both) allow yourselves to fully feel your feelings. A loss is a loss. Allow yourself to feel it. It isn't stupid, dramatic or silly to be emotional over a job loss. It's scary times economically and being a family with small kids! It's okay to feel what you feel and I hope nobody makes you feel otherwise 💕

[@HomeEccentric]

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this. You have 60 days to apply for COBRA, so if you think you won't have any medical needs for December and January, you can wait until February to start whatever new insurance you pick and if something catastrophic happens in Dec. or Jan., you can just apply for COBRA and it is retroactive as long as you pay the premium.

[@HoloHoloAdventures]

It’s scary to lose an income. I know you all will be okay. You’ve set yourself and your family at a good financial place. You have emergency funds in your brokerage accounts and can use it as needed during this time. Your husband is a educated and skilled man and I’m not too worried about him finding another great job. I know your family is going through a lot but I’d love to hear how you all do in the month of November during this crazy time.

[@srl0003]

So sorry! For what it's worth.. I was laid off when Covid first hit and I was devastated and never thought I could get another good job like the one I had. I ended up getting a much better job and also make more money and I'm also much happier now. Everything happens for a reason. Praying for you guys!

[@loriv828]

It’s the door and window scenario! Love to hear it! Good for you!

[@frankiebee2980]

Marissa, I am so so sorry. You both are so smart and so generous, you will absolutely make it through this. But I want to thank you SO much for sharing this. We all look to KZbin for sincere relatability but anymore, I feel like all the KZbinrs I follow have perfect lives, perfect jobs, perfect circumstances, and it can become overwhelming to think about where to look to for solidarity and a true plan! Although you don’t have to share all of this at all, you have, and you are doing something so incredible. I know it hurts that you can’t give direct income to the children in Rwanda, but please rest assured that you are STILL giving, helping thousands moms and families plan for their future and support their families.

[@davisholman8149]

Trust me - most people have had to go through a lay off at one time or another. That is why Dave Ramsey recommends at least 6 months worth of expenses in an emergency fund. You will survive this - make getting another position your ‘job’ now.

[@kathrynmccloudthomas7138]

Thanks for being so vulnerable. I’ve been watching you for years and you never cease to impress me with your strength and peace. God has you all in the palm of His hands. Can’t wait to binge your videos to further support your channel. Praying a door opens very soon ❤

[@patriciakuronya9862]

In PA we have a state health insurance plan for kids called CHIP. My kids have been on it for years even though myself and my husband have benefits through our work for ourselves it was more cost effective for them to be on CHIP. You can't make too much to be on CHIP, your income just effects the monthly premium and it covers health, dental and vision. I don't know what your state offers but it might be something to look into.

[@austinmerrifield9836]

So sorry you guys are going through this. Sending you so much love and hitting that like button extra hard to get your channel some extra love during this time ♥

[@jasminebenson4454]

I’m so sorry to hear this! 6 months into my marriage I was laid off. It was the most challenging season I’ve ever experienced. I will praying for you and your family during this time. Also I figured I’d share a Bible verse that may provide you comfort during this time of uncertainty Luke 12:22-31. ❤

[@anniekay7534]

Just want to jump through the screen and give you a hug! I get it is so overwhelming, but like you said, you have the budget, no debt and you have the emergency fund. this is why we save and what you prep for! You got this ❤️ And thank you for all the helpful info, love the budgeting course ❤️

[@kcdubbb]

I’m so sorry you guys are having to go through this!! I’m making sure to consciously watch all the ads for you during this time ♥️

[@whitneypentecost6796]

I was wondering the same if it helps them out by watching ads? Will do the same.

[@avadodgestaff]

Hi Marissa, best wishes for your family! For health insurance, I would strongly recommend looking into Medicaid or your state health insurance marketplace where you’d likely be eligible for a subsidy. While I don’t live in Oregon, in my state I was eligible for Medicaid while unemployed. They cared about my lack of income and did not ask about my assets.

[@midnightcoalexpress]

Coming from someone who works in healthcare and has worked closely with health insurance and reimbursements, and billing don’t do the meta share. I know the COBRA sucks but trust me I would do so that over meta share. You’re very limited in what you can do and where you can go USUALLY with that. And a lot of places don’t want to deal with it because it isn’t actual insurance. You can apply for state insurance for the kids. Since he lost his job you guys should qualify. The income cut offs for children is much higher than it is for adults so look into that

[@yoshikow]

Marissa you and your family got this 💜

[@MrsTweetyba14]

This is my first time watching one of your videos. I’m sorry to hear about your husband being laid off. Remember that God is your provider and he will make a way. I’m praying for you and your family. In the mean time I did purchase your budgeting template to help during this challenging time. God bless!

[@budgetfor5withstephanie]

i just want to reach through the screen and hug you! im so sad for how sad you are about cutting the additional giving you guys do. You have such a huge heart and will be blessed!

[@dontstalkmedeltoro8816]

In a large company when they have mass layoffs there is rules/laws about severance. I have heard it's 60 days. But you might want to look into that. Please look into medicaid for your family while you're in between jobs. These programs are meant to help families like yours. Im sorry you're going through this.

[@ChecheLanojanvlogs888]

Hello Marissa! I’m so sorry to hear about Jacob losing his job. A big hug for you and your family. I also experienced losing my job here in Australia twice. Know that your situation will get better in the near future. Here to support your channel.

[@noahsegrain3722]

i'm sorry that this is happening to you and your family.

[@emmaryblackburn]

Hey Girl! Just want to give you a word of encouragement and sympathize with you. I love your channel and appreciate that you are open about your Christianity and tithing. My family are tithers as well ! I know you are all having an extremely hard time and I’m lifting you and your family up in prayer! Keep giving off of any income if you can as I’m sure you know your tithers rights as a Christian ! I’m believing for an amazing and better job for Jacob asap and praying that a better door opens ! I know the situation sucks but you are such an inspiration and well beyond prepared and equipped for a rainy day so don’t get discouraged and knocked down .You guys are amazing and are doing the best you can and it will get better very soon ! Praying for peace and comfort and that this is a trial that takes you and your family to higher levels !

[@PrettyColorfulVideos]

I got laid off at the end of 2018 from a job I was at for 5 years. I was 8 weeks pregnant and was going to share the news with my team in our afternoon meeting that day, but our morning meeting was the layoff announcement. I was lucky enough to have 60 days of work left after the announcement but was unemployed, uninsured, and pregnant over the holidays. Applied nonstop and accepted a job offer the Friday before Christmas. My 4 year anniversary with that company is in January. Good things are coming to you!!

[@melissaandreag]

This brings me back to the morning when I was unexpectedly laid off a little over two months ago. It was a rough day. It has been great ever since and as you know because we’ve chatted on IG DMs, I am starting a new job soon 🎉 And I’ve actually enjoyed unemployment hahah. I know your husband will find something great at the right time 🤞🏼 I hope you can enjoy the time together until his next job.

[@WellBalancedWallet]

I'm so sorry this has happened to you all, but it seems like you have a solid plan. This is a great video that is really helpful for others that may find themselves in this situation.

[@bekindorrewind]

So sorry. I think alot of us are worried about the same possibly . All I hear is bad news about the economy and that there's going to be layoffs. Its going to be okay, you're such a smart girl and good at this. Its what everyone is going to need to hear. Take care and blessings

[@kaylaromero3250]

I know it’s hard to see it right now, but this is clearing your husbands way for something better.

[@jacquelinebhg2325]

I am so very sorry. I will keep your beautiful family in my prayers. I would feel so bummed too about the insurance situation.

[@brooke6504]

I highly encourage you not to pause giving with your church. God always makes 90% go further than 100% when it’s blessed by God. I have been in these situations before and God always comes through for people who trust in Him. ❤️

[@marthao3514]

I’m sorry to hear your husband lost his job. I literally just discovered your channel today, but will make sure that I let the ads play while I binge listen to your videos.

[@nicoletolmie3201]

Thinking of you and your family right now. I have purchased your budget spreadsheet and use it weekly. You are in a much better situation than many people and I know something will come your way soon.💓

[@libbysworld7649]

Will pray for you and your family. Your husband will likely find something relatively quick with his skillset. Thank you once again for your transparency. I sincerely appreciate that. What happened to your "thank you" button? And I'm very happy you have your emergency fund. I will refer your budget spreadsheet templates to my friends and post your link on my socials. I'm SO SO very sorry for this. I can feel your pain. You will definitely bounce back. This is a short season. God is good and will provide.

[@aaliyahhhbeyy]

i am so sorry to hear, Marissa. I also got “laid off”, they gave me a fixed term contract offer which ends in May 2023….. it definitely feels personal and like a slap in the face. It is absolutely a grieving process.

[@ThePennyDropsYNAB]

I’m so sorry you guys are going through this with a newborn right before Christmas!! 😢 Jacob is super marketable and will find a better job right away! This is a season and you guys have done an incredible job preparing for this situation, you should be proud! Even though it hurts right now ♥️ Praying

[@ThePennyDropsYNAB]

We have done a health share insurance plan and we had a horrible time finding providers who would accept private pay, which is how you’re categorized under that type of plan. I would not choose to do it ever again myself.

[@ThePennyDropsYNAB]

Also do you have direct support options? Venmo, Cash App, Zelle?

[@baileymaier4115]

We have three marketing roles being hired for at my remote IT company, Afiniti. It is fully remote, great benefits and pay in the US. Not sure if he would qualify for any (since I am not 100% sure what he does). But have him check it out! The company is doing great things.

[@ribbontribute]

Prayers for you, state insurance, will most likely cover you and kids ,,

[@TheOscar15432]

Sending prayers and hugs. My hubby loss his job in Nov of 1999. I was due to have my son in Jan 2000. He came at the end of Dec 1999. I went thur this. I know just how you feel. We was blessed to be able to have our family help us. You and ur hubby stay strong. God has your back. May you continue to be blessed.

[@alyssagraham1144]

You are so right about it going to be okay. Because it is. The great thing about this being on his resume means he could possibly land another job this great or better!

[@Breanna.HouseOfCorgis]

Marissa I understand what you are going through and I will keep your family in my prayers.

[@sagesnippets101]

I'm so sorry that your family is going through this. Especially in the lead up to Holiday season. He will absolutely get another job, and in the meantime could even pick up some part time/contract/seasonal work. I actually got teary watching your video, I know I'd be devastated if my family were having to go through this too. Wishing you all the best. You've got this.

[@niamhb1365]

So sorry to hear this ♥️ it's hard to watch you so upset 💔 I've been in a similar situation recently and it is such a rollercoaster of emotions. It's horrible to feel so vulnerable. BUT, it is just a matter of time till your Husband finds a new job, even if it's not perfect straight away, just having something to contribute will put you guys in a better headspace and position, then he can look at finding something better whilst bringing some money in. Give yourself a few days and you will be able to breathe easier. Sadly these kinds of things do happen, but you are as prepared for this as you could have been! I hope he finds something soon. You take care x

[@Jss766]

I had to be the income earner for a few months because my husband hadnt yet found a job after we moved and the things that needed done on our new property i couldnt do. It was hard but between savings and me working we made it and now i am a stay at home and he works full time again. My advice is someone should be working by next week, even fast food for a few weeks. Sounds like your probably dave ramsey people.

[@charlenagarcia5]

First thing that came to my mind was relocation! I will be thinking of your family during this season. ❤

[@wakeup6525]

My husband just lost his job two weeks ago and we are in a very similar situation. I totally relate to this grieving process you are talking about. Found some comfort in this video.

[@brendaroca1049]

Love your channel and will give you the one advise that change my life forever. I live my life and handle my finances like I lost my job. I buy second hand for almost everything we need. I save as much as I can and don't spend a lot on kids since they are growing fast . Blessings

[@stargater2892]

Did you sign your kids up at the Dolly Parton Imagination Library? They will send both boys a new book who very month until age 5. It begins at birth or once you apply. You can do it online. While it doesn't pay your bills, the books may come on a day you need a bright moment, and opening and reading would certainly bring that. Every child qualifies.

[@stargater2892]

Correction: a new book every month until age 5.

[@kaleyshome]

Oh Marissa, I am so sorry to hear this. That is terrible news to get especially at the end of the year. God is good and always with you. This may end up to be a blessing in disguise even though it’s painful now. Praying for you & your family ❤

[@clairesanders1456]

Thanks for sharing, although it’s sad news. I am sure others will watch and be able relate and find help from this video. This is something that could happen to anyone. I trust that everything will work for you guys again soon in God’s time!

[@ElizabethClary1]

I am so sorry, Marissa. Please know you are being prayed for by many and that God has a wonderful plan for your life. ♥️♥️

[@CatherineElaine]

I’m sorry Marissa 😭 the state of things in our country right now is just atrocious and everyone’s being impacted one way or another. We’re feeling it too.

[@krispippin1697]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻so sorry! Prayers! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻You have done an excellent job on saving, prayers that he finds another amazing job quickly.

[@MsLisaBrooks]

Marissa~you cut your budget in half just by looking a once over! That’s great! You have already taken your income from six more weeks to 12 weeks. With unemployment it will go out further. I am guessing your will find other ways to save. I will watch all your videos. Hang in there!

[@BeSchmenda]

Do not doubt that God's got you and your family and He is faithful and He will provide. Hang in there friend!

[@sculpture6878]

I'm so sorry about your husband losing his job. A good reminder to try to clear up some debt this month just in case. I am also a stay at home wife. Instead of taking advantage of black Friday sales it would be best to just horn in on Debt We have about $20,000 worth of debt combined. Picking up a part time job may be a idea for me.

[@TheFamilyMinimalist]

First of all I am so incredibly sorry. That can be such a scary time but I am thankful for you guys that you had certain things set in place before hand. Praying he finds something soon and that you guys are provided for!🙏❤

[@tessaromero299]

So sorry to hear about this. Prayers for you and your family. ❤️

[@alexwithabook]

So sorry to hear this news. Praying for you and your family!

[@thelaneanator6302]

I'm so sorry Marissa. You will get through this. God always provides!

[@franny5295]

Girl it is ok to admit that this is stressful and trying and God is still in control at the same time. The Lord knows what His plans are and He also knows that it's hard for us to not know what's going on when our worlds seem to catch on fire. Jesus Himself asked if the cup could be taken from Him so let me say it again, it's ok to feel some type of way. It's ok to acknowledge that this may very well be extremely unpleasant. As long a you remember that God is in control and it'll be for the best for your family. As hard as this is, remember that you don't know what God is protecting y'all from by allowing this. Don't forget to thank Him, especially now, because again, He knows the plans He has for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future. Hold on to that. With both hands. Always hold on to His promises... Edited to add: Your children will qualify for medicaid. You don't have to worry about that.

[@jaredalbin5658]

From a guy who has changed jobs every 2yrs on average in the Tech field - there are a million jobs that are remote - a million jobs that offer good pay. Your husband is a professional with a great skill set. You will definitely be okay. He’s gonna get a new job. Look for remote again! Don’t cry :*( it’s gonna be okay.

[@karihosny9420]

The job market is still strong and I’m sure he will land a job by beginning of 2023. Best of luck.

[@rosenaandre7147]

I'm so sorry just know God got you Just stay positive I'm praying for your family.

[@glendahenriquez5814]

I will be praying for you and your family. You are the reason I got into budgeting and all my knowledge is because of you. Don’t worry god has control of everything. Better opportunities will come. Sending you so much love!!! From a family as four as well! ❤

[@Natalie_11188]

I’m sorry this happened to you guys. Your feelings are valid. Sending hugs.

[@ashleyzinmotherhood]

Could you look into buying insurance through the marketplace? My family has to purchase insurance through it each year because my husband doesn't have insurance through his job and I stay at home. It's very affordable.

[@tanyamassey9438]

Praying that God give your husband a new and better job quickly.

[@suzh7301]

Don't pay that much for health coverage if your husband hasn't found a job by the time yours expires. From my research the medishare covers very little, so to pay that much for it is not worth it. When you lose a job and need temporary insurance there are safety nets, especially for children. Each state has a children's health insurance program. With a job loss, it shouldn't cost much if anything to have your children covered unless your income makes a significant amount. I would go that route before spending $700 a month on a medishare. It's just temporary until the insurance from his new job will kick in. I've been there. Stay strong...you will make it through.

[@aprilmathis32]

Sending you prayers and love!

[@ninaneubert4238]

What about applying for food assistance for now? With dropping to one income, you may qualify.

[@pinkheartz97]

You should put together a Christmas list on Amazon for your family. Myself and others I'm sure would love to buy gifts to help out.

[@saramonoc1052]

Praying for you and your family ❤ we walked through a similar situation and God supplied beyond our needs until another job came across. You guys have been faithful givers and I pray/know He will see you guys through ♥️

[@IturrinoSofi]

I hope this season of life is really short and that things get better soon!

[@jillferns333]

Marissa so sorry your husband lost his job

[@libertysprings2244]

The most important thing is you guys stay together as a family and get through the hard time that's coming. Also it's very important to realize that anyone getting laid off now is because of the Federal Reserve cycle since they raised interest rates. The reason they do that is so more people will lose their jobs and it will reduce inflation. So please let your husband know it has nothing to do with his job performance or self worth. Maybe young families like yourselves lost their homes during the 2008 crash and the whole thing is repeating now. Do you have any family living nearby? If not, I would recommend moving near parents if they're willing to help watch the kids while you're both working. It's not really possible to do that with no family living nearby.

[@yennyf8492]

I know this must be scary but God will always be by your side!

[@lifeasweknowit4721]

We love you guys so much. You guys will pull through ❤️

[@katieo4420]

Praying for your family! We had a very similar situation. It has been a huge fear of mine, we were not as well prepared as you are. The Lord provided, and I now look back at those months as a blessing; the extended time of having my husband home while my youngest was a newborn was precious, although stressful at the time. I pray God will bless the unexpected time for your family and I pray for quick provision of a job for Jacob.

[@MousyLeigh]

My heart goes out to you guys.

[@kdcounseling]

I hope each day gets better ❤

[@villyou4809]

Marrisa, you are a strong, brave and courageous woman! You deserve better, get rid of the dead weight. You want that weekend european trip? A Mercedes in the garage, lunch at Spago's, a private Chauffeur? Remember the old saying, Smart people learn from others, average ones from experience, and the stupid? Well they NEVER learn. I encourage you to follow all your other American sisters, it's all the rage. After all, they all can't be wrong. I have a top notch Divorce Attorney here in NYC, a real shark, by the time they are done with that deadbeat, he won't be left with one pair of underwear. You go girl.

[@savedbygrace7772]

I’ve used medishare, CHM, and Samaritan Ministry. I like Samaritan Ministry the most. Let me know if you have questions.

[@princesskaitlinhazelwood4703]

I am so sorry. Hopefully he will get a new job soon. Maybe you could do more n KZbin

[@hax0rz100]

So sorry to hear that you guys are going through this. I would see if you have bills that perhaps you can lower, rather than cut out completely. An example, cell phone bill. We need phones these days and there are many prepaid carriers that are over looked that offer such cheap prices. I recommend Mint mobiles $15/ month plan to help you guys conserve during this tough time. Praying for you guys.

[@lindadevine9513]

I am sorry, you and your family will be ok. Unfortunately the majority of the layoffs are to the people that ate working from home. Sending prayers

[@karrigirl]

Thanks!

[@allisonkemper5533]

Blueberry pediatrics is a wonderful resource- telehealth visits cannot handled everything, but they have saved our family hundreds of dollars this year on pediatrician visit costs by being able to handle a decent chunk of pediatrician visits by phone vs in person.

[@mommasea]

So sorry for your news. Totally been there back in 2020 when my husband was laid off. It sucks but God is good and we saw his faithfulness displayed through that season. Trust Him! As far as insurance goes you should look into Samaritan Ministries. Same type of sharing plan like you are looking into. It’s easy to use once you figure it out! I’ve had both my babies (2yr & 3mo) with that coverage and only pay $400 per baby. We pay $596/mo for up to 7 people so I could have 3 more kids and my monthly share payment wouldn’t change. Look into it! Sounds like a better monthly payment than medishare. My husband has free healthcare through his job but Samaritan Ministries is way smarter in the long run for the rest of the family because my “deductible” so to speak is only $400 for having a baby.

[@bpfeimst]

Thank you for your transparency. While I know this is a difficult time for your family, I trust that with the Lords help you will overcome and this will be a testimony that you will be able to share and use as a teaching moment for others. Thank you for all that you do.

[@missloretta]

Awww I'm sorry. Well when one door closes, another door opens.

[@mmcphedran]

Be sure to have your husband apply for unemployment benefits the first week he has no income. Don't wait because it doesn't go backwards in time. Good luck. Will keep your family in my prayers.

Hi Marissa, so sorry for your plight. I may have missed it if you said this already, so please forgive me if you did. Do you have like a 6-12 month emergency fund for situations like this? Thank you for your time and stay strong.

Praying for you & your family! I recently lost my job also and I was the primary breadwinner, so now it’s all on my husband at the moment. It’s very hard!
