[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He well earned that shot. Let him or he will regret it. 
Even if it fails, that's life. With your assets you don't have to live in fear. [b]I guess as a SAHM you don't feel powerful enough to dig yourself out of a hole. Maybe work on that. [/b][/quote]

What does this mean? Not being snarky, I just honestly don't know what you're saying here.[/quote]

NP. It probably means the for OP the man was her plan, and she has no means to support herself by her own admission.

And honestly a man like this who makes half a million and saved up millions and still isn't satisfied may have ambitions for improvements outside of his career, not sure if OP is worried about their marriage too.  Hence be supportive and weather this phase, OP seems vulnerable[/quote]

OP here. No I am not worried about my marriage. We have always seen ourselves as a partnership and that the money he makes is "our" money. He is asking me if he should do this, he's not telling me. I don't think it's fair to paint me as a leech. I've made sacrifices too. He went back to work two days after I had each of our babies and I didn't say anything. He frequently goes on last minute business trips and I don't say anything. It's not like I've been on easy street all these years. I've been home with three little kids.[/quote]
OP, you are not a leech.  Marriage in the 21st century is a partnership.  I am sahm right now.  DH still talks to me about big purchases.  And actually, DH has a chance to go with a startup next year. We've been discussing it.  The health insurance thing that a PP mentioned is super important. What kind will you get with the startup?  If it's a high deductible plan, then you need to budget for this as well.[/quote]
