[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, my point is one is always better off working on one's own salary.

Investing time and effort in analyzing your husband's career in an effort to improve that is a waste of energy.  Invest in what you control and own -- yourself.

Are you always this dramatic pp? She asked for advice online and it somehow turned into investing tons of time into her husband's career. Researching relocation and the hiring process for his field is a basic thing to know about your spouse. My husband worked as a consultant in IT for 3 years before he found a permanent position.

PP missed the point. I don't think they're worried about a salary increase. 145k is an awesome salary for north Florida. Her husband wants a permanent job with benefits. Consultants do not get PTO, health insurance or vacation. It's a very stressful way to live. [/quote]

DP. A critical point raised that I think is overlooked here is how much OP can contribute to this stress with her own professional contribution. She works for an insurance company, WFH for $55K. She should have medical, dental, etc to supplement during times like this that they are getting their marriage off the ground. She complains about not wanting to move and be a SAHM, but isn’t clearly saying whether she has a  career contribution short/long term worth factoring in. The PP saying she should focus on that to increase her earning potential too gave good advice.[/quote]
