He's lost his job and says he doesn't work to work.

My OH has been working contracting for 2 years he made 6 figures. He got let go for trading on the stock market without informing his work. We were planning on upsizing our home OH now says he doesn't want to work for a while he wants to trade on the stock market. He has already bought 25k of shares. He doesn't know anything about trading just taking his friends advice who all still live with their parents. We have 1 DD who is nearly 8. I work full time and can pay the bills. I'm absolutely fuming with him he had a good career and seems to have thrown it down the drain for high risk stocks.

Mortgage is £400 I earn around £2500 net pay so yes I can afford the house .

Who owns the house with its current equity? As in - if you were to separate would you have to buy him out of his half of the equity, and could you afford that?

QuestionEverything.....OP said he put everything in gamestop. This is a huge gamble regardless of experience, he is not doing safe trading, in which case he should have had a serious discussion with his partner before gambling it. If you read my post I'm all for trading right now as its good money and safe if done right. Its my job atm, but I wouldnt touch that share and I have a medium risk profile.
