The finance is retired so unless she works, their income will be limited to SS and his pension. And I'm sure, supplemented by government help.
It's bad there. Really. I lived there. I taught some there and the young women seemed to be mostly employed at hooters and strip clubs, some customer service, and lots of single mothers on some sort of support.
When a minor child is in the picture, you PUT YOUR DREAMS ON HOLD BECAUSE THE CHILD COMES **FIRST** .. ALWAYS AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION!!
By the way, I did not marry "old"... My fiancé is NOT old.
This is a horrible way of thinking, how old are you? I strongly urge you to start saving for your divorce right now, because this marriage is not going to last.
My husband and I have a baby, and I am actively encouraging him to pursue his dreams. He is a year away from completely his PhD, and by following through with his dreams not only will he become what he always wanted to be but it will benefit all of us, financially and emotionally.
I like where we currently live, but in one year we are moving for his job. And I am ok with that, and I support it, because I LOVE him and I want to see him THRIVE! Depending on the needs my daughter will come first, but in regards to location and career it is totally between my husband and I.
Ya'll are judging without knowing the whole story...and Fort Wayne is not the cesspool make it out to be. It is a very nice city. Hooters burned down a long time ago (replaced by an Urgent Care clinic) and the strip clubs in question are not present on our side of town but many miles away.
HE is the one that brought up about me delaying work until our son starts kindergarten. Maybe our son DOES need two stay-at-home parents at this particular juncture. Don't judge unless you know the whole story.

You put it out there. What else is going on with this story?
I wanted to go back to work, but for the sake of our son (WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS as he has OCD and Sensory Avoidance and Sensory Seeking issues), my FIANCE decided that it was not in our best interest for me to work at this time. We live very comfortably...no cable TV but we do have Internet. There is nothing wrong with having both parents present in the home at this time.
