I am so sorry you are going through this.  It's not easy to be in that situation.  I have been under a mountain of debt and staring at bankrupty before, with two small children and no money for food, and no help in sight.

I second the suggestion to talk with your creditors.  Also, pay the necessities first, which of course you know already.  I am going to look into Dave Ramsey myself, after that suggestion. 

One thing I have leared is that change is constant.  Things will keep changing and this will get better with time. 

I do know people who have downsized from owning a home to moving into an apt. for a season in order to get out of debt.  That may sound crazy, but in THEIR position it helped them with utility costs, commute costs, etc.  I am not telling you to do that at all, but perhaps there are other options that would make things easier for you to pay everything right now. 

Sometimes I feel like I would like to take just my laptop and a change of clothes and buy an RV and hit the road. 

Wish we could have a big yard sale together. 

My sister who is a CNA at a nursing home is constantly saying I 'just type what people say'.  Yeah, OK... I'd like her to even TRY to do this!!  My other sister thought that way too until I played a dictation for her and she put the headset down and said he couldn't understand a word said.  Wish I could get the older sister to try it, but she'd not admit defeat anyway.   

Or how it isn't a real job because I don't go to an office everyday.  Yeah, I'd like to see them work with a toddler underfoot and still do a good job. 

I'm happy with my career choice though and I'm proud of myself and my husband is proud of me so I'm happy with that!    Plus I get to have this great job and still never have to miss any of my daughter's firsts.

just for personal reasons, as I'm still working, etc.  I see Medword has a 9 specialty CD set for $269, and of course there is the SUM Advanced package but that's $840.  My goal is to be more employable by just broadening my skills as I've only been doing ER and clinic for years (going on 10); however, I'm certainly not made of money!  ;)  Do you think the Medword one would be okay or a waste of money?  I've heard great things about the SUM program but do you think it's really necessary?

Thanks for your thoughts!

I sent this question to Inscribe and the answer I received from this is below it.  I'm going to upgrade and then "back up" if I have to until I can in get a pedal.  This does at least give us warning that the upgrade will be forced later on. 

Q:  I have not upgraded to 4.91 InScribe, but still use 4.3.202. I have been told that the upgrade will not allow Express Scribe?

A:  This is mixed results. I know some people are using express scribe sucessfully, but there are some issues with windows Vista and espressscribe

I believe they meanwith the new version. Also there is a USB configuration tool for footpetals built into InScribe that may work for you as well.
The only way to test it is to really just try it out. You can always uninstall the new version and download the previous version, although in the near future the new version of InScribe will be a forced update.

My previous employers are unfortunately still in the stone age of using all dial up equipment and word perfect, etc.  I loved the job and would still be there if the work was steady.  The problem is that they do still need p.r.n. help on occasion but I am not willing to pay the 50.00 a month (I would need unlimited LD) for the second line for p.r.n. work, nor do I want to set up another ancient computer on my already cluttered desk.  I've done that for 10 years and done with it. 

I've talked to another Transcriptionist and it sounds like it wouldn't be that difficult for them to upgrade in order to use internet capabilities.  Knowing these people for a very long time, they will listen if it is easy and cost effective but I'm clueless where to point them.  Any ideas? 

Right now they use all Lanier and Dictaphone and almost all their equipment is due to be repaired (which I expensive and sometimes can't be done) or replaced.
