That's one tortured analogy. >>>>For example, if I lose my job and decide not to find another, and then I hide that from my wife and make up for my lack of income by putting all of our expenses on credit cards, am I a hero or am I on an unsustainable path? To my wife, everything looks hunky dory. But how long can I keep this up? Perhaps, I can keep it up for a few years and then find another job. But then I'm saddled with all this debt that I have to pay back, which means my retirement date is going to be pushed out for a long time. Am I a hero for taking a several years vacation and successfully hiding that from my wife? I'm sure she wouldn't think so.
