Ya, just be supportive, try not to be worried as in a few months you may look back and see that there was no reason whatsoever to worry.
The obsession over money is really an obsession about power and control because that's what money represents to us. You feel out of control and with little power right now. Try to accept that and let yourself feel the reality of little if any power and control because the fact of the matter is we don't have much. It only takes a little something, like loss of a job, an earthquake, a wall street crash, a terrorist attack, a disease... to shatter our sense of control and then we become a neurotic mess. If you can learn to go moment by moment, day by day, then when your husband does get his job and things are more stable, you will feel as though you will have mastered, at least a little bit, the issue of powerlessness. If you can feel relatively comfortable and stable in situations of powerlessness, well then, you are very powerful!!
