After 11 years, my wife and I might have reached an impasse?

Asked by tinyfaery (44083points) March 16th, 2012 from iPhone

I grew up poor. I’ve never expected to own a house. The concept of saving, investing and 401Ks is not anywhere in
my vision.

Last night, my wife and I got into a fight about the fact I don’t have a “career”, I have no interest or knowledge in investing in the future and I have no aspirations or the privilege of thinking I can “do something I love” for a living.

We come from different worlds. I feel like we might not be able to live the rest of our lives with her worrying about money and the future and me focusing on the moment and the small things that keep me from offing myself.

Tell me your thoughts. Please don’t make assumptions.
