Tired of being a stepping stone.....

Hello all. As it shows I am new to this. My husband and I are going to take the plunge together and both get our CDL's and become a team driver set. But to be honest I am scared to death. I am more of a book person, I learn quickly enough not a problem, but worry about things like backing up. I know I will be taught how, but it still worries me. And while on the road I plan on finishing my two master degrees. But it beats the alternative of being homeless (which will most likely happen very soon.)

My husband lost his job last year and has yet to find one that pays enough. Yeah he is working and so am I but it just doesn't cut it. So we are going to sell off everything and take on this new adventure together. I know it won't be easy and it might get to be more of a task than a pleasure, but he and I have worked through many things in the past, and we do enjoy spending time together and I like to see new places.

I guess I am feeling alone and confused about this since it is totally different than what I had planned when I graduated 2 yrs ago with my BS in Accounting. Any words of wisdom, advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
