GET MY WIFE INTO R.E.I
Hi BP's. need a little help. my wife is now working from home, which I'm loving.lol. I really don't want her to go back to "9-5" job. I want her to start learning the R.E.I.so we can start our own business in R.E. I just don't know how to approach her about it because she is not into RE. I know we both want the same thing. the financial freedom. any advice would help thanks.
thanks

@Mehdi Khachani I honestly feel your #2 incentive is not very good. Let me tell you why;
1st: I hear a lot of men complain how the wife is always spending the money. Why is this well because of your #2 (incentive) you should show your wife to invest the money not throw it away.
2nd: once you give her that check she will always expect a check on every deal. What happens the day you can't give her that check? She will most likely have a tantrum and will make your life hell for a few days in some cases a divorce is filed.
and
3rd: you have to teach each other to work as a team, you both want to become successful so she doesn't get a check, you BOTH reward yourselfs with a well earned vacation or fancy dinner or what ever makes BOTH of you happy.
Be a good and fair man that's what makes a wife love her husband and will do all she can to help him, a check is not needed.
Don't just make her a check to keep her happy and to be supportive. Because it won't come from her heart.
I don't mean to sound rude. This is just my opinion and from what I have seen from the people that surround me.
