Eventually, she was able to stick with just one full-time job, and she then accepted a promotion.
Throughout the last several years, she and her husband have started flipping homes and had a lot of success with it.
Not long ago, her husband made the decision to quit the job he held for over 12 years because he despised it.
After resigning from his job, he delved into investing in real estate.
Unfortunately, when he quit his job, he lost the inheritance that his company offered its employees, and her company didn’t offer this benefit.
In her view, it was important for her husband to try to find a passion that brought him the happiness that he seemed to be missing from his life. She felt like he had so many talents that he was squandering in an unfulfilling career.
Because of these thoughts she’d had over the years, she was extremely supportive of her husband’s choice to resign from his job.
Plus, since her husband’s job always seemed to make him irritable, she was hopeful that his new career ventures would make him more upbeat and cheerful.
“So, now things are tight, and I’m still the breadwinner. As he’s been struggling, I also do 90% of our kids’ activities, school pick-up, dance, gymnastics, groceries, house, holiday planning, and doctor’s appointments. He does help with laundry. As he feels that’s the easiest way for him to help out,” she said.
In the past, she was usually able to work out at the gym from time to time. But now that her husband quit his job, she’s too busy with her job, housework, and childcare.
She believes that her husband prioritizes his own free time and his own career more than anything else, and these seem to be the most important things to him.
