So my husband lost his job on Friday—not because he was fired, but because the company went through restructuring and changes. He’s getting about three more paychecks, which should carry us through May. He’s filing for unemployment today.

I’m not sure how much he’ll receive since he’s only been there for two years, but it should at least help us get through July.

The problem is that he’s been vaping THC nonstop for years. I told him yesterday that it can stay in his system for months, and most jobs test for it. He’s also a green card holder. He says he can find a job that doesn’t require testing, but I’m really stressed.

I feel like if he wants a good job—especially in this market—he’s going to have to stop. I woke up this morning feeling very anxious because I know that by June or July, we could be in trouble financially if he doesn’t find something.

If I cover everything myself, we’ll only have about $383 left each month. If I stop my 401(k) contributions, we’d have about $700 left monthly. I also have two paid-off credit cards with about $40,000 in available credit (not debt, just the available limit), but I don’t want to use them since I’m already paying off a third one.

Should I trust that he’ll find a job without drug testing? He just got laid off two days ago. Should I give him some time to breathe and figure things out instead of being hard on him about the smoking—and just play it by ear?

Should I stop contributions to my 401k now or wait or what ?
