Throwaway because I think my husband knows my regular username.
My husband and I have been married for 7 years, together for 10. He is extremely unmotivated and makes just above minimum wage. I make a bit more than him but it's not that much but enough to just barely make bills/groceries and a pittance in savings. If he made at least as much as I do we could be more financially secure. We have two young children and I just feel at this point we're going to be a burden to them when we're older. My husband has no apparent desire to get a better job and we're living paycheck to paycheck. I'm always on edge and I can barely squeak out anything to put into my retirement account. He won't even discuss serious matters like this with me, he has no idea of what his retirement account is or if he even has one? Trying to talk to him about this stuff is like pulling teeth. I don't know what to do but our future together is looking bleak and it's honestly makes me not want to be together at times. I know this sounds materialistic but I don't need some big fancy house/jewelry, etc., I just want a stable financial future for my kids and myself. He refuses to have these conversations and I feel like I'll just end up homeless when I'm older/a financial burden on my children. How can I make him confront this issue and seriously discuss it with me?
TLDR: Husband is unmotivated and we're financially hanging on by a thread. I'm concerned that we have a bleak financial future for both ourselves and our 2 kids.
