What if she's fine living on a lower income? You can't make someone work for a lifestyle they don't want, OP. This is my husband. He has a high IQ, multiple terminal degrees, and earns very little in a little business working for NIH scientists. It's maddening that he thinks everything is peachy when all his peers have actual careers and make much more.

Or, he could get a better paying job.  That is what my husband did.[/quote]

You don't understand. My husband is FINE with this situation. He's been refusing to budge for years. This is why it's maddening.
And he doesn't help around the house either.

OP can make more money.  Your husband probably has a good income just not good enough for you.[/quote]

25K for the year, in the DC area. He has a PhD. His business is not working, he just doesn't want to admit it and likes the low pressure. What was that you said about a good income?

Yes, it is good income if your expenses are low.  [/quote]

Family of 4. Stop reaching.[/quote]

I'm not reaching.  What does a family of four have to do with it?  You choose to have kids.  You need to live within your means.  You can apply for housing and other assistance if you are not working.[/quote]
