[quote=Anonymous]We have a baby on the way, and we need a boost in income to ensure that we can offer our child things that we both lacked growing up.  For those itching to attach, let me be clear -- husband has not had a raise years, is constantly "on call",  and should definitely be earning more considering his level of experience/responsibility.  This is not a situation where I need my man to make more $$$ so I can have a BMW.

The need to scrounge for income has forced me to start looking for a new job as I think it is unlikely in my current job (fed employee) that I would get a raise I so desperately deserve.  This has put a lot of pressure on me.  Husband has been hearing from me for years about the need for us to make more money.  I've shown him our budgets, I've showed him the amount we put toward our student loans -- it has done nothing to motivate him and I'm getting frustrated.  Frustrated to the point that it is hurting our relationship.

What can I do to get him to at least start looking and applying?  I'm the breadwinner by a considerable amount and I can't have all the financial obligation fall on me anymore.  [/quote]
