[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is right. He makes $160k. I understand why he is frustrated that she’s not willing to get an education that will improve her chances of finding a better paying job. Most successful families have two working parents that are pulling their weight. OP’s wife needs to step up her game. I understand she stayed home to take care of the kids. But pretty soon the kids will be full-time in school. What is she gonna do? If OP was making $300k, she could stay home or work a job that doesn’t bring much.
If they live in this area, $160k for a family of 4 is not much. It’ll be very hard to save enough for retirement and kids college. 
I understand why OP wants her to be more ambitious.

However, OP is wrong on insisting she gets a 4y degree. Degrees are overrated. Plus, she’s not good at math and will never be. Let it go.
What is she good at. What are her skills. Is she a good salesperson? She can find a high paying sales job without a 4y degree.
She could start a business. My sister started a business selling stuffs on Etsy and Amazon. She’s doing very well and now out earning her DH.
Focus on her skills and help her leverage them. [/quote]

With all due respect, no, she cannot just "start a business" out of thin air or be an etsy seller or other sales person and just make 300k.   :lol:  This sounds infantile.[/quote]

Why not? If she has the skills and the will, she can. [/quote]
