[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the first thing to remember is that you can only control your behavior not others, including your spouse and children.

My husband has and engineering degree from the top two universities in his field.  He works for a nonprofit in a job he loves.  I wasted way too many years being frustrated with him.  I decided I was the one who wanted the extra money so it was my responsibility to earn it.  I now make about $500k a year including bonus and options and we have the lifestyle I want (my husband still doesn't care).

Contr your own behavior because it is the only thing you can control![/quote]

NP here. Well, that's fantastic advice for everyone. I can't wait to go score my new job, I will take my behavior and responsibilities seriously. Now, hmm, where oh where, is that flipping 500,000 a year job?   Easy peasy, eh?  :roll: [/quote]

Yes, I'd like extra money. How can I make $500k? [/quote]

Well, according to one PP you just need to work really hard and volunteer for every new opportunity, however, menial. Before you know it you will be on half a million a year.[/quote]
