Husband wants to leave job

[davidsdead]

My husband hates his job and wants to leave it before he getting another one. I'm not working atm because he encouraged me to leave work (I'm nearly at state retirement age). I've been looking for pt work but am finding it hard to find anything. We have a v large mortgage that as a high earner he pays. When we bought this house the agreement was that this would be our final move. We have no insurance because he refused to get it. He has no savings because he is crap with money but I do. However, my savings are to last me for my retirement on top of my v small private pension. He's quite old so will find it hard to get another job in his field. I'm very angry with him. Any advice on how to tackle this?

Support him leaving once he has another job. Could he drop his hours and use the extra day to focus on applications? Give him a time limit again until Christmas. If he hasn't found anything and still wants to leave you need to consider down sizing.

Thanks for reply. He wants us to downsize as well but if we sell and pay off the mortgage they money left won't be enough to buy anywhere or anything half decent. The reason I feel let down is because it was him that wanted the house we're in and the large mortgage. I'd have been happy with something smaller. We bought it because we knew it would eventually be suitable for us in old age.
