The man lost his job, will have to tighten the belt
It was a difficult time for Eugene. She realized this when her husband Vlad reported that the company he had worked for for 7 years was closing in the coming days. That meant he had to urgently look for a new job. And preferably with good pay. But Evgenia did not understand Vlad's position with the search for work. You can start your own business and start earning a lot more. This was very important, because for Evgenia, her husband’s earnings are the only source of income, and the latter clearly needed inspiration.
Earnings of her husband - Well, is there nothing you can do? - did not stop Eugene, asking Vlad. You could come up with something and start your own business. A lot of people do this and then go to the Maldives!
- It's not that simple, Vlad calmly replied. To run your own business, you need investors.
- So find investors!
- They're nowhere, Zhenya. Everyone loses money, and investing in business now is not profitable for anyone. And I'm not an entrepreneur. I will be looking for something, maybe even have to learn a new specialty. So we're gonna have to tighten our belts.
Peels Eugenie disagreed with Vlad. In her opinion, if he had the desire and will, he would quickly find a way out and become one of those entrepreneurs that she regularly reads about on social networks. The truth is that the main thing is just to get out of your comfort zone and catch your luck. And Vlad doesn't want to do that.
Forced measures passed time. Vlad’s training took time, and Eugenia’s needs required money, which was becoming less and less. She didn’t see herself as a provider for her family.
No, her job was to inspire and support her husband. But somehow all her efforts were perceived as nothing more than a fantasy. Every time she tried to prove to Vlad that he could do anything if he wanted to, he only gave an unequivocal answer and went on to learn a new profile.
Despite this, Eugenie did not give up. Moreover, the other day she had an amazing idea: to give Vlad a gift. Just in time for his birthday. Evgenia has heard many times about courses and marathons, after which a person can achieve what he wants. That's exactly what it takes!
After an hour of searching, she decided on a course. It was a series of videos from a social media blogger about business and success. Advertising promised the speedy achievement of all goals and the acquisition of masculinity again. True, the course cost a lot - more than 10 thousand. Although Evgenia was well aware that the money could be spent on something more traditional, she truly believed that she was investing in the future of her family. The main thing is that Vlad listens to all the advice.
His birthday surprise Vlad decided not to celebrate. Any excesses meant expenses. Besides, he never liked the holidays. But Eugenie loved them. Against the wishes of the birthday boy, she ordered a cake from the pastry chef and dishes from the restaurant. So that her precious husband understands how great it is to live if you do not save on yourself.
- Zhenya, why? I asked without all this, he said in a tired voice. - No gift, I hope?
- You're wrong, Eugene shone. A gift is waiting for you in an email. I just sent it.
Peels Vlad with concern took out the phone and went to the post office. For a while, he was silent and rereading the contents of the gift.
- What is this? asked Vlad.
- This, dear, is your way to personal growth and a great life! Aren't you glad?
- And how much does this gorgeous personality growth cost?
Eugenia gave me the amount. Vlad put down his phone and went to the dressing room. At first, Evgenia did not understand why he took out her pink suitcase on wheels and went to the bedroom. When her dresses and shoes flew to the bottom of the suitcase, fears arose.
- What are you doing? she exclaimed.
- I get rid of all the extra for personal growth. How could you spend so much money on this nonsense? Instead of doing something useful, you spend money on charlatans and you want me to cheer. You'd better go to work instead of putting yourself in the head with these motivations! I never judged you or bothered you. But you think you have the right to tell me how to be and how to be! I'm sick of it! I want a divorce!

Peels Life Wisdom: What Does This Story Teach Us? That day, thanks to her enthusiasm, Eugene lost not only her husband’s earnings, but also a stable family life. And Vlad celebrated his second birthday. Since he was no longer forced to fully support his short-lived wife, he could manage his life as he wished.
In any couple, the main thing is support and mutual respect. As well as understanding what is needed at a certain time and what is not. Evgenia chose to act in her own way and in difficult times for the family to spend a round sum on a questionable purchase. Did she do the right thing? Hardly if Vlad's reaction wasn't long in coming.
