[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thank you for your feedback. I thought we would be making more money as he had good degrees and a stable job when we married. I...did not plan on a high earning career as I wanted to be a mom first. He got stuck in the 80k-100k range for a few years while we got married. Then, he got laid off.

Now we are 32 and 33 and in very bad shape. [/quote]
It's not too too late. You can still have a child when you are 38. Plenty do.

But what is your plan now?  What are *you* going to do about your situation? You cannot rely on your husband. So, you have two choices if you want the life you envisioned for yourself:

1. divorce him before it's too late -- there's already a child
2. stay married, get a higher paying job, and sit down with your husband to figure this out

I will say that if you decide to stay with him, you had better be prepared to not hold on tight to any resentment because it can fester, and it will manifest itself once your child is born.

And anyways, do you really want a child with someone who is financially irresponsible ? But then again, I am not so sure you are all that financially responsible either for willing to spend $30K on a wedding when you yourself aren't even earning that much.[/quote]
