[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is the poster mad at her computer programmer husband for only making 120k and being content in his job.

Either way, blaming your husband for your stress is not healthy.  You need to take charge of your own choices, and make changes to your own situation.  Resenting him for being happier is childish.[/quote]

My husband is a government worker not a programmer. [/quote]

So he does make in that range.  Check yourself.  Your striving isn’t healthy.  Learn to live within the means you can make without working yourself to death.[/quote]

My other option is to divorce my husband because life sucks with someone when you do not share core values. That’s what I am leaning towards.[/quote]

You think high earning alpha males don’t have drawbacks, op?  How would you feel about a workaholic dh who is never home or has work affairs or is selfishly driven?  Grass is not always greener.  One partner is rarely completely right or 100 % compatible, marriage will always be about compromising.

You sound like the one who is a little extreme here.  That’s fine but just because you’ve discovered that about yourself doesn’t mean everyone has to change to suit you.  That’s just immaturity.

Building wealth and security is much more about spending than earning, by the way.[/quote]

I’ve made a lot, and I’ve made a little. And wealth building strides have come for me when I’ve made a lot. [/quote]
