He’s really young to be doing this. When I met him I asked him what does he want to do, and he said, “retire”! Lol. What motivated him to do it now is that our son, who is getting married, did something that was such a slap in our face that my h said, “Why should I try to save any more money to leave our kids? Let’s just live off it and screw them.”
It has been dis upon dis from this son and his fiancé moving toward their wedding.  We have not said or done one thing to cause it or to criticize them. We told them how much we were hurt, but they don’t care.
But time is moving forward and it is out of my hands. I am following the advice of WikiHow articles and biting my tongue.
We have a very low-key life, low expenses on the house, don’t spend beyond what we can afford, so we’re ok. If you just watch TV, you don’t spend much money.  |
You and your H are both young. Eventually, you might both find something that makes a little money so that you can do things besides just watching TV. (That is all my H and I do too--we are saving for when he retires--we also have low expenses except for our children.) It is understandable if your H reevaluated his career if it was causing him a lot of stress. Most jobs that have benefits and pay well also have a lot of stress. The older we get, the less we can handle stress. My husband has found that he can make good money contracting--the benefits are lousy but contractors have much less stress because if the company wants you to work overtime, they have to pay you time and a half.
I am enjoying my new job teaching ESL to Chinese kids (they are so cute and sweet) but, so far, I am only averaging one class a day so I am making about $9.00 a day (but only working 1/2 hour a day
). Hopefully, I eventually teach 1-2 hours a day. That would be the right amount of work for me.
PS.
My H is envisioning me eventually getting closer to 4 hours of work a day--if I can, perhaps we can meet in the middle?
