You said he has college degree and student loans? Who pays those back and why is he working minimum wage jobs? Although my husbands ex also has college degree but the only jobs she ever had were 15 hours a week minimum wage. Amazing. My husbands ex would be a great match for your husband. Just amazing. Is he an alcoholic? Goes to bed at 4am and consumes so much...sounds so stressful
The student loans aren't from a college, they are from MMI (Motorcycle Mechanics Institute) from 20 years ago. He is paying back those on a monthly basis. That is the one thing of his I have never had to pay. He had a high paying job that he left last year because he didn't like it. He started at $15 there and left there after 7 years making $37/hr. He had just made the big jump from $25 to $37 about 6 months before he quit but wanted something with less stress so took a service advisor job at a power sports shop. Now he makes $16/hr but says it's too hectic in the busy season and to boring in the off season and they just cut his commission by half. So apparently not going in at all for a week without pay (now a week and a day) is much better than being bored at work and bringing home a paycheck. He always finds a way to justify what he's doing. This time will probably say he's not going in so they can see just how valuable an employee he is since not as much gets done when he's not there!
