It sounds like this has been stressing him out and he's wanting to get rid of it fast.
And here's the thing.
A stressed dad, a stressed mom is not a present dad.
Yeah, the kids feel that.
They feel it.
And so I'd rather you not be around them if you're like a live wire because you're so stressed out about your money.
Yeah.
I'd rather you be at work working to clean this mess up.
And the other thing is the math ain't mathing for me.
You got $10,000 to pay off.
You make $100,000 at your current job without the two full-time.
Why is it going to take you so long that you think you're going to cause trauma to your kids?
Are you going to be doing this for three years?
I think you could clean it up with the current income if you just got your expenses down.
You can get out of 10 grand of debt and save up another 25 pretty quickly making six figures.
So I don't know that your plan is necessary.
I would like to see what we can do on the expenses side before we go to up the income.
But either way, if this is a short period, like six months to go hard at this, your kids will be like, wait, what?
What happened when I was two?
I don't have any recollection.
