[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you need to be the money manager here. You also need to start making more money on your own. [b]How are you only making $36k/year in your 30s?[/b][/quote] Shows how out of touch DCUM crowd is. [Median monthly earnings for women over 25 is $956 : https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf. That's $3,834 per month, roughly. After you take out taxes OP is certainly near the middle of the pack. OP has plenty of company. Not everyone has a law degree, a second home and sends their kids to private school.[/quote] Those people are also not spending a year’s salary on their wedding. And not earning 110-130k only to end up with zero savings. I’m not blaming OP for not earning more. I’m blaming OP for not planning at all, relying on her husband to be the earner, and accusing him of failure when she clearly did not articulate to him or even herself what their financial future goals looked like.
