Spinoff - Bad days
What do you do when you argue with DH over money every day? How do you stop the tension?

Re: Spinoff - Bad days
Not to make him the bad guy, sales are getting slower and slower every month and he's getting more and more stressed out about it. I told him today not to let this job kill him. He doesn't want to leave, but it's so stressful.

Re: Spinoff - Bad days
Money is something that we argue about and its *****!! Maybe try and figure out how to cut back on some expenses for a bit!

Re: Spinoff - Bad days
Thanks for the it's more an issue of the mortgage than anything else, once that's paid there's not much left! It's tough to live here, we have a small ranch and although we squeek by every month, we really just squeek by.

is there maybe a stricter budget that you can make up? I'm sorry- i'm sure you thought of it, but i'm just trying to think of anything that might help

Re: Spinoff - Bad days
Thanks, I didn't mean to wine, I know I'm not alone with the money issue thing. I've done the whole pb&j's for lunch thing everyday and stayed in every weekend before, DH not used to it. I grew up in a small apartment in a bad area in the city and my mom really struggled to keep the bills paid. DH grew up on long island in a house and is not used to having money issues. I guess what I'm trying to say is if he weren't so stressed I wouldn't be. My mom always told us that money won't make you happy and we (my sisters and I) did have a great childhood, but it sure is nice to have the extras too . I just want DH to be happy.

you're not whining at all!!! feel free to vent away. Theres a reason that money is considered one of the biggest stressors in a relationship.. because it IS stressful... especially when its not there. and its hard witha house... theres no doubt abut that... But, it WILL get easier. i hope you & your DH can work through it and find a way to both be happy
