I work at an office for $7 an hr,4-5 HRS everyday. I get very tired and my hubby has a very good job.?

Question

Should I continue to work there? The thing is I am making just about $35 a day. Is that too too low? My hubby has a very well paying job and I feel insecure and feel less power in this marriage bcoz I dont earn and dont do anything. I plan to go to a certificate program in real estate and another in interior design in the evenings, once every week too. What do u think abt this situation?

Answer 1

What is this job preparing you for? You're getting Skills some people pay for!

I feel you'll do very well in the real estate business (In the next 5-8 years) Not sooner, the market is really bad right now), becoming your own boss. Seek out your education in that field, make sure you check out advertising for yourself, Once you've accomplished all that, You will be deciding your own paychecks.

Keep the job, ask to learn more at the job, take on the schools and get yourself finanically set by time your 40!

Look into selling Furniture also, as you sell the homes you can sell the furniture you get at a wholesale price to resell to the new homeowners..

Answer 2

I would have to asked why do you feel insecure...? Why do you compete with your husband?

To make it right you should compete only with yourself. You will always find someone who does better or make more money than you. That doesn't meant that you are less, it just meant that others have more experience or luck. Don't value yourself according to what you earn, just do your best and look for something better, if you can and then except that is your best.

First something is better then nothing.  Your husband has a good job you say???  I assume it is a full time job??  My next question is is your house clean and who does it???  Marriage is about working as a team as long as you are doing your part and he is doing his then you have nothing to worry about!!!  Does he feel you need to work more and make for or is this just your feelings....

Answer 4

I think its good that you have goals, but in the mean time why don't you keep your job until you have the other things you want to do.  I think that you giving up your job will make you feel even lower then you already feel.  Best of luck!!

Answer 5

a job is better than no job work and do what you need for your certificates. I'm going to tell real estate isn't doing well at all I know people who are real estate agents. They are lucky to sell anythng.

Answer 6

4-5 hours a day isn't much, why are you so tired? I can't judge the money because it really depends where you live. I personally don't think I could go without a job, I would just be too bored

Answer 7

As long as both of you can support yourselves without the other, there is not power in money in marriage. Truth be told, neither partner should feel as though they have more or less power than the other. The power in marriage is love and commitment not money!
