[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like the perfect wife. Seriously. If you ever dump his ass, let me know. I don't need much of an allowance.[/quote]
OP here, thank you.  Some people here are making me out to be the worst wife, but is it so bad that I want to help my family build wealth?  Most men complain about their wives' spending.  All I can think about is how to help him get ahead at work, save money, and enjoy a stress-free life.[/quote]

Wow are you ever controlling! You also seem obsessed with money. [/quote]

Not the OP, but if you ever lived with not knowing where the money was going to come from to pay for food, then you have no idea.  Maybe she is obsessed with money, but better safe than sorry.  Some of us are smart enough to know that food stamps and welfare or being forced to sell assets to pay for food is not a good way to live.[/quote]

Exaggerate much?
Op won't have to worry about money for groceries, that's extreme.[/quote]

Well, that is how I grew up, so not much exaggeration at all.  Dad died, mom never worked.  No savings, no social security for the first few months.   New house with 17% interest rate bought 18 months before dad died.  No income.  No close family.  All of my grandparents and all of my father's family was dead by then.   You should feel very grateful if at the age of 10 you did not have your mother sobbing about how she had no idea how you were going to make it.

Sounds like OP grew up with someone in her family that grew up like I did that taught her never to be without and to save, save, save and be debt free.  My mother made sure I could always support myself and my family and harped on saving.  Just saying, you are a product of your experiences.  OP is a product of hers.[/quote]
