@mlanger @douglasvb @AlaskaWx I'm pretty sure I'm the one who's the limiting factor in my relationship. If I told my wife I wanted to quit my job and make it doing this sort of thing she would bend over backwards to help me make it happen.
@ingalls @douglasvb @AlaskaWx My wasband was definitely the limiting factor in my life. We had a paid-for house and I was making good money, certainly enough to give him a chance to start one of the seasonal businesses he claimed he wanted to start. But he couldn’t stop buying shit he didn’t need so he needed the 9-5 grind to pay for it all. He’ll likely work for the rest of his life now and never own a home free and clear again. Idiot. 🙄🤣
@mlanger @douglasvb @AlaskaWx once the condo sells we’ll be able to travel like we dream of doing. Neither of us have egregious spending habits and I have my dream job.
@douglasvb @ingalls @AlaskaWx I think it depends on what happens with this one. The goal is to curb inflation and the only way to curb inflation is to get people to stop spending so much money on things. That’s where higher interest rates come in. The trouble is, people don’t seem to care about going into debt to buy stuff, no matter what the rate is.
