Getting past the fear - How to convince the significant other?

[Travis Bodnar]

I am a dreamer.  I am a planner. I analyze to the point of analysis paralysis.  That said, I tend to lean toward the "take chances while I am young enough to make up for my mistakes".  My wife - in profile pic as well - aint she a gem? - is overly conservative (and bad at math).  She is the type that believes you put your head down, work hard for the man (boo), and hope to retire at 65/70 by "saving". Now I have started to read, listen and watch everyone talk about the options to make money in real estate. My question is, how do I convince my wife that investing in RE is the best option for us long term?  How do I get her to understand?  Has anyone else had a similar situation?  I feel our best option is either working with turnkey providers, buy and holds or partnering as we both have full time jobs we like pursuing for now.  Whats everyones advice?
