Could you go back to being broke once you became a real ballerette / baller?

So I was watching Desperate Housewives last night and saw a situation that I'm sure would have me headed to divorce court. Carlos has decided to find himself and quit his six figure job to do social work. So his wife, Gabrielle, has found a lucrative job as a personal shopper for rich men. She has to dress provacatively, which her husband had often asked her to do for his clients. Now her social working husband has a problem with it and doesn't like her job. The feeling I'm getting is that he would prefer for them just to cut back and be broke. They did a season with a broke Gabrielle and it wasn't pretty. She is my favorite housewife and I prefer her fabulous. lol

So Gabrielle's character came from a poor background and is now faced with going back to broke. I couldn't do it. Call me shallow and callus, but I've done broke and all I got out of it is that I don't ever want to be broke again.

So could you go from riches to rags?

Since no one sent you to the corner yesterday, I'm sending you today for the highlighted. lol

My thing is, he knew her standards when he met her. She hasn't changed. She, like me, is happiest when she is shopping in high end stores. He may be happy with what he does for a living but she's not happy living off of what he wants to do for a living. And she did the right thing, she went out and got a job! You would think he would be happy with that. If it was me, he could suck it or get out.

And I know what you mean about that bytch. She is going to be azz out by the end of the show though. Tom is already getting sick of her and he has cut back on the sex.

 I think it depends on the situation. Like for Carlos it is about him being happy and fulfilled. I would like to own my own business one day, so I know I would have downsize until I can get off the ground. If it is ultimately for the greater good of your own mentality, personal, spiritual, or physical happiness.

 But if you have no choice like a wrong investment type of thing than hell naw. I would have been like the Jack Johnson (the councilman’s wife in Maryland) stuffing money in my panties!!! LOL

Side note - Lynette should have let that b**** choke episode before last!

That is how my mom and a few of her (white) friends were acting, they're all beautiful women who have had opportunities handed to hem on a silver platter. The recession hit and people started to get really thight with money. They did really well during the 90s and early 2000s, now everyone is losing everything left and right. It almost broke my mom, because she refused to go back to being a broke woman with a kid (granted, I'm grown and take care of myself), but these white women are about to fall apart. And NONE Of them grew up with money, they just can't get a grip and go back to being Trailer Park Trish.

LOL I agree. That is the problem with a lot of people, they always think the gravy train is never going to stop.

But $picey, he would know she stashed it now and she'd still have to share. I was looking at him real crazy when he first said he was quitting his job to give back to the community. I was like, we already did broke Gabby...me no likey. lol  Everything is better with a lot of money on it.

Broke ain't pretty and sometimes you have no choice. Gabby should have stashed some cash when he was in prison when she found the money he was hiding and she burned  his passport lol

Personally I can't, that's why I'm careful with my spending because you never know.

Because too much of their self worth is attaced to things!

A man should not feel his wife should change her lifestyle for his dreams. When you get married you are giving up freedoms that you have when you are single.

EXACTLY!
