Getting significant other on board

[Jeffrey Giffin]

I can't be the only person on here who has had a problem with getting their significant other on board with real estate investing. I'm in a situation where my wife just isn't into the idea of investing at all and would much rather just have money sitting in a bank account collecting dust. Is there anybody out there who had the same type of problem and found a good way to overcome it? I'm at the point where I want to pull the trigger on a property and my wife has flat out said she'd rather just keep the money in the bank. I have spoken with her before about how I want to invest in Real Estate and she said she was fine with the idea but now that a deal is presenting itself she is saying she doesn't want to do anything and wants to just have the money in the bank. I was thinking about going at it like I was presenting an opportunity to an investor but she is the kind of person that would fade out in about two seconds. Please help.
