Since we don’t have much money saved up, her dad (my in-law) brought up the idea to help us with the down payment. The deal is this i believe the dad brought in the deal. The deal is this that the house will be bought under my name and wife’s name. The house will be for the purpose of saving money that we pay for taxes, because last year we payed a large amount of money on taxes a little over the 6 thousand. Anyways, we were told that if we become home owners then we wouldn’t have to pay as much, for which is very obvious to me. The deal also includes that the house will be sold after a 5 years, but the money that the house will make, it will be split among my wife’s siblings and me. how rediculous is that? I don’t know. Do you think this is rediculous? Would you get into this deal if you were me? Would you feel that you are thinking of taking advantage of you? I did and I couldn’t sleep for about a freak’n week. If you guys think of anything to say to them please include it. Thank u.
I decided to save up for our own selves and the deal is ours only.
No I didn’t think it was free money. I never take anything for free. What I decided is that we save our own money we get our own home. and if we ever need her dady’s help he will be paid back in full.
You guys have given me your point of views that I didn’t know existed. I truely appreciate your opinions, it has help me put my thoughts together, I thought I was being selfish and unreasonable to deny such deal or offer.
thats exactly what my wife thinks that I was selfish and I never think of her first. I was like what???? What??? Does she knows what she is saying?

My husband, he earns and spend everything lavishly. He will not do any little adjustment to save money. No plans has been done or a house yet, just fly and eat etc. If I tell him, he does not like to discuss. I too work, I am planning to buy a house, because I want to live peacefully at my later stage of life. After he worked for 10 years, he does not have a little savings also, where as I am seeing other people, how they plan and have atleast some assets.

He is really freaking me out, he seems to be like lay back man. Does not take any responsibilities. What should I do? Oh yeah, when I talk to him, he talks like a old lazy man. I am so depressed with my life now, I think these days oh boy what did I do?

Plz help what to do? Plz honestly suggest me..

i have been with my fiance for 6 years now, we have2 children together and i love her very much and want to marry her, however she is 100% money oriented in life, everything is money, all day long she sits and thinksaout bills, crunches numbers. even things that are not even due yet, as soon as i pay one shes spends the next 3 week talking about it being due again next month. if i chose not to partake in these convos about bills then she says i dont care, its all on her to deal with ect. i happen to joy the best things in life that are free like time with my kids and so forth. however she cannot, all she ever thinks of is money. allshe ever talks about is money. saving money, spending money, and because its all she thinks about she assosiates money with love. once i let our cable bill go 2 months behind and she told me everday that i didnt love her, at i was a loser, that i didnt care, that i didnt want to support my family. all over something like money. i love her very much but how can i compete with this love of money she has. i have explained to her that money doesnt make the world turn. it doesnt make u happy, or get u friends and so forth. but nothing i say seems to matter. the nly time she feels loved is when i put money in her hand. how can i convince her that shes wasting her life on money, and will soon lose everything that is free includng me.this has been going on for 6 years now and i have tried everything i can think of to get through to her. any suggestions that may help save my relationship.?
it is like we cant even have a real convo anymore i can say somthing like “do u want to go out to dinner tonight” and get a responce like “the phone bill is $74.03 in 2 weeks” i DO love her very much or i wouldnt have put up with this for 6 years and look to you guys for answers. i just want to have a real life with her. i want to talk about the weather. or politics or anything other than how much this bills is and that bill is. its all i ever hear.
