How does scrapbooking help his career?

This made me laugh, I'm in a sour mood too. The mental image of scrapbooking spouse and PP is just what I needed.

My husband is smart but currently floundering in a 100k job at 30. He has no idea what his next move should be. What can I do to help?

Hmm what do you really want, op? Your dh makes good money. Not enough for your lifestye? Or is it a prestige issue? Either way you are wasting energy on something that is beyond your control.

Live below your means and save lots of money so you guys can invest and get supplemental income. Maybe he will make more someday, maybe he won’t, you can’t control or count on that. You can control what you spend.
