I work full time, but H still provides me with more than half my income. I don't make much at all. I am building up my savings account, but with full-time childcare, a mortgage, and an outlandish student loan, I have heavy overhead. I AM VERY grateful that H has been so good about money. His attitude makes me even more careful about how I spend it, because I don't want to upset this little island heaven we have regarding this one issue. He even talks about the money he makes as "our" money. Which is very good.I haven't come across another thread where the WAH was so willing and generous with money. Even H's that are still at home aren't usually as good about it as my phantom H.
I agree that the ease with which we have handled money has seriously reduced stress. And of course, it is one of the two main factors keeping me from contacting a lawyer today. The other being, that I still have feelings for him.
Interestingly, I have more money today than at any other time in my life. Yet, I have never been so insecure about finances. So scared of being completely broke and stuck in a dirty back bedroom at my mother's house and not being able to buy S4 the toys he wants anymore.
I'm so scared, WCW, just like you, about losing what I have. I'm afraid of having to take my dog to the shelter, of not being able to afford descent childcare, of being unable to afford to move, and especially of not being able to buy things for S4. Some of these are real things and some are just complexes I have. But it's all fear.
