    The competition I read in this post will most likely led to a Divorce, or some sort of rift, a relationship should never be about money, ya I know it’s had, I lost my first wife over money and who makes more. It’s just not worth it.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    This, when you got married, the money became ours, if not, you are in for some very rocky roads so just go ahead and get out now.

    This will curb your truck spending habits real quick, but you will have the nicest jogging stroller out there that sits in the garage because you are too busy and can't muster the energy to get up off your ass. However it is worth every waking moment and I wouldn't trade it for the greatest truck in the world.

    I like this plan, surely she won't say no everytime. Combine this with making a list idea so that way even though it may be something that is dumb to her, she can see on paper how important it is to you.

    What is she complacent about? Is it that she enjoys the type of law that she is in helping welfare cases, no money involved but it makes her feel good? Or is it that it is just too hard to find another job so I will stay put?

    Whew. As long as you have no debt and some emergency funds, you can spend on what you want, IMO. What's her plan to pay off her debt? Use your income or move up the ladder?
