Another blog post brought up by FB Memory... still worth to share. Pic: on our holiday in Kyoto last year. Pegadaian I dont go to office everyday; perhaps only twice a week or less. Thus when I do, I embrace conversation with hubby along our way. Like last Monday. We were giggling as we passed by Pegadaian, remembering those hard days when we were out of money and I have to mortgage a set of gold jewelry given by my mom in law as a present for delivering her first grand daughter, to meet ends. The next 2 months I had to sell that heart-shaped box of jewelry set worth 6mio at that time, to pay credit card that we used to buy milk, diapers, pay loans, insurance, maid’s salary, etc. I remember at that time my maid literally has much more money than I had. We just had a newborn baby and took credit from bank to buy a house. My hubby didn’t get salary for 6 months working in a startup recommended by.. forget it. Crazy silly days. I didn’t share the problem with anyone else. I thought it’s gonna be our forever secret. Until one day as he became a speaker for an event held by Gramedia, in front of 300 audiences he revealed: “Saya pernah kerja 6 bulan nggak digaji sama sekali. Padahal baru punya anak pertama. Istri saya yang menafkahi keluarga.” 😱🙊 And the other day, his partner who’s also my friend asked him in front of me: “Nat, Nuniek matre nggak?” He retold the story above and added, “Kalo matre dia gak bakal kawin sama gue, gaji gue waktu married gak sampe setengah gaji dia.” 😂 Financial problem is one of top 3 causes of divorce, as many research show. So if you’re marrying someone because of his/her money, I suppose you are prepared for a divorce once s/he is broke. Unless you have an evilish plan: marry to rob your partner’s money. Speaking of which, that wouldn’t make your life easy, leave alone happy. Original post: http://post.nuniek.com/post/45831330717/pegadaian #nutsays #nutsblog #nutslyfe #nutslove
