[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread really had some potential until the PP who hasn’t taken a vacation in 20 years came along and decided to make it all about her.

I noticed that the OP never responded to the questions about how much money she and her DH make, and whether he is a Fed. I expect that (assuming OP is actually a legit poster) the gulf between their incomes is not large, and that they are on track for decent college savings and a good life financially. It’s just that OP is consumed by jealousy that her friends or others she grew up with are much wealthier than she. If riches are her goal in life, trying to flog her husband into becoming a rainmaker won’t t work, and neither will divorce alone, most likely. She’s going to need to get the big job herself, maybe through her family’s network since she grew up UMC?

Any one else have any ideas about how a bitter, ambitious woman in her thirties with kids and possibly a soon to be ex-husband can get the life of luxury she feels is due her? [/quote]

PP. I commented that not a lot of people do not take vacation or a lot. Then they started arguing with me. I did not derail the thread. People harping on me did. Again, someone making a stupid comment about leave your job due to vacation is missing the point.

OP is not suddenly going to be happy because she has more vacation time. She and her spouse have different financial goals. One of them will have to adjust their expectations...that is the ONLY way it is going to work. OP having a different job is not going to solve the problem. People offer really stupid advice on here and are missing the point. When someone feels that they do not have shared life, it is a real problem. It is not a matter of switching to a less stressful job.[/quote]
