[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is a marriage issue but on her side. Her husband needs her to have a different job and she is digging her heels in. He is making good money, trying to pay off mortgage and save for retirement and she is worried about her haircut and her part time Starbucks job.[/quote]

You are nuts. And I really don’t see this guy stepping up so she can get a better job. He obviously doesn’t like being inconvenienced. He probably expects her to get a better job while somehow magically making the household run without his lifting a finger and oh yeah, something tells me that when she starts making more it’s not going to be “her” money anymore.

They cannot afford to be socking away that much in mutual funds, plus it’s stupid to pay off a mortgage early assuming that they refinanced when rates are low (and even stupider if they didn’t). He’s artificially lowering the amount of money they have available so he can tell her that they’re broke and so no, she can’t have haircuts.  This guy is a piece of work. [/quote]

This. An ztra $1k for the mortgage? When he could put that into stocks or retirement and maybe spend a little of it?[/quote]
