1) Stop trading her account. 2) Start trading your own account just in case the worst happens (divorce). 3) If she wants you to continue trading her account...have her pay you a salary or fees pay to you. 4) Start saving your money in a separate account just in case the worst case scenario happens. Setup online statements only (no mailing of statements). 5) Persuade her to put the 450k (a bulk of it) from her trading account that you've been managing...put the profits into the child's college education fund or preferably a trust fund just in case the worst happens and then later a new guy comes into her life...wanting access to money.
Being a stepdad of two boys.., I could take exception to this remark... If I was insecure about being a stepdad⦠or thought I was somehow an inadequate dad Since neither is the case - pffftttt RN
good point - indeed it is trivial. thank you for your feedback. i agree - the priority and most important aspect of this is focusing on our child. in terms of the marriage if you were to look at it on a chart right now, its hit bottom and has been making lower lows. so on the flip side, it should not be that difficult at this point to get some positive momentum going. i am definitely up for it. my initial opening post was more of a kind of a what if? or curiosity scenario, say what if my wife wants to quit. i should have been more explicit and articulated better in that regard as opposed to making it sound like i am basically throwing in the towel this weekend which i am not. thanks again for your post.
this is exactly what i am looking for. just a grocery list of suggestions on how i should proceed if things can not be turned around. like i said; i am not quitting on this or my child and hope for the best. i gave a very poor first impression and that was my fault. my initial post was really a kind of what if my wife wants to quit kind of scenario/inquiry --- what considerations would i be looking at. thanks again.
come to think of it. valid point on your end. i do need some work on my articulation/writing skills. thanks.
I don't get it. You have a healthy child and a wife who makes $270K/year, and you want to get out of the marriage because her dad is a smoker?
