Worried

[Anonymous]

I am a 40-year-old man married to a 30-year-old woman. We got married six years ago, when my wife was 24. She studied art and music at UVA. At the time, I was working in fintech and earning over $3 million per year.

When we were dating, I told my wife that she would not need to work a single day in her life. Instead, she could focus on her music and art. It was—and still is—the best decision we ever made. She has a lot of time to focus on our kids, herself, and me.

Most of the people I am friends with have wives who do not work.

Our kids (4) all knew a plan was expected. College, trade school, military, what have you, and as soon as they were no longer in school, they had to be working full-time. They could live with us while they were getting it all together, and we paid many of their expenses such as car insurance, cell phone, they drove our old cars (and I do mean old - one of the cars is 18 yrs old)…. But we made sure they were sticking to their career plan and moving forward.

Hobbies and volunteering are great, but those can be done after hours and weekends. This engagement could end tomorrow. “A man who feeds you can also starve you.”

Wow, that quote ! 🔥
