She did work until 3 months ago which she got laid off. She has been looking for a new job since. But she hasn't been really trying that hard.
Speaking of handbags, she wanted a $2500 Bottega for Christmas. After I told her about my situation she actually said on her own that I don't have to get her one yet.
Seriously though, I just hope she doesn't leave me because of this. I have already put so much time and money into her so I don't it to be all for nothing.
Put the house hunting on hold and fire up the resume.
Sucks bro, sorry to hear that.
Didn't know he was a troll. I guess he can go to hell the with his stupid thread :biggrin:Pretty much this. Can't figure out how so many people don't see through it.
The OP and alky need finance anonymous.

Also, remember the top 20% of your pay is the highest taxed. Your net loss is probably around 10%

What type of logic is this based upon? The maximum income tax rate in the US is 39.6% on those filing single and making over $400K per year.
Last year I read an article that stated that Mitt Romney had "earned" $22M the previous tax year ... yet paid only $2M in tax.
sheeesh. I am trying to make him feel better... Like fact has anything to do with this thread :whiste:
Oh come on! You and I both know that the OP is no troll.
It all has to be real!
She hasrichstatus and money obsessed parents andhighunrealistic expectations or something I gather?
lol @ 10k engagement ring. My wife's was 2.5k and that was the limit. I have maybe given her a total of 10k in jewelry in our entire 15 years together. That includes a very nice diamond ring I got for her for the birth of our first child.
This is the problem with kids today. She freaks out over losing 20% of your pay but how much would she have freaked out if you had given her a $2k ring as opposed to 10k.

A lot. Based on what T2K has said in the past, the wife to be is completely wrapped up in conspicuous consumption. She needs to display her $3k purse and $10k ring, she has to have a hubby to buy her all the things she needs to prove her worth to the world. That pay cut is going to hurt her badly, she may have to make him get a second job, or find a fellow with more disposable income.
I really hope he's simply a troll, because if all the things he's posted here are true, the poor stupid little fuck is in for a lifetime of pandering to the needs of the miserable succubus he's engaged to. It's beyond tragic, the lad is completely without a spine, he's been cowed to the point of slavery. I pity his need of the creature that's sucking the life out of him, and I detest his inability to do anything to better his situation.
Please let him simply be a troll.
I guess voting for Obama 2x really worked for you all...
In order to prevent layoffs, my company is cutting everyone's work hours from the normal 40 hours down to 32 hours. I'm searching for a house right now so this is a bad time.
And I have to deal with my fiance who is freaking out right now. So how do I calm her down? I also suggested she try to look harder for her own job.
