I selected my husband for his kindness, consideration, and minimal dangerous habits, but he earns little and has money owed.
We’re each 34 and have been married for a 12 months, with me within the remaining month of being pregnant. Strain from my household led to our speedy marriage after assembly and my speedy being pregnant.
Though we’re not rich, my steady job and substantial household help, together with an condo I owned pre-marriage and occasional monetary items from my father, have left me with sufficient financial savings for childbirth.
Nonetheless, I have no idea for the way for much longer I can persist. Regardless of approaching my due date, I’ve acquired no monetary help from my husband for almost a 12 months. I bear the price of the whole lot from prenatal check-ups to groceries, with out anticipating contributions from him attributable to his tight price range.
To ease the monetary load, I proposed we every contribute VND6 million (US$246) month-to-month for our bills post-birth. He has already paid VND12 million upfront and promised an additional VND20 million for childbirth prices, but he has not managed to earn extra but.
I perceive his effort, seeing him working tirelessly from daybreak to nightfall, so I seldom elevate monetary considerations or strain him. Nonetheless, I’m anxious this sample would possibly persist, given the uncertainties of my husband’s self-employment and potential monetary downturns.
I’m apprehensive about how we are going to handle as our bills will multiply after the child arrives, and VND12 million a month will scarcely cowl the wants of three in Hanoi.
How can I guarantee a stability in our monetary scenario?
