I’m Worried My Boyfriend Is a “Slacker” Husband in the Making

I'm fine with being the primary breadwinner, but what I don't want is to end up with one of those slacker husbands who decides he wants to “switch careers,” quit his job, and then sit around the house contributing in no way.

The missing piece seems to be how you communicate with each other about your goals, dreams, ambitions, and practical, ongoing life decisions.

If you're worried that you're marrying a slacker husband who only wants you for your money, you should break up and find someone more aligned with your financial goals.

By the way, it’s great to be able to buy a house with cash, but it's also a smart move to buy something you can live in for a while.

If your parents don’t want to raise the rent, then selling the house might be their next move.

Even if you’re right about how much the property is worth, they’ll have to write a lot of checks before your parents get to your student loans.

They may need all of that cash to fund their retirement, leaving you and your siblings to pay off your own student loan bill.
