As a husband and father of three staying positive is very important. Even though im the bread winner I conside my beloved wife to be the stronger one and most imnportant in our family of five. Im human and I have good days and bad days but in the end I have to pick and chose what to stress and be mad about which is alot easier said than done. I can always count on my wife to cheer me up and help me pull through and stay positive. Im trying my best to deal with all the pressure, bills, the kids school, and supporting my family wihout letting it affect my happiness... Any advice would be appreciated!

I admire you staying positive in all you do for your family. Another thing, are you and your family ok? I am pretty sure I heard that Hurricane Irma went by your area where you live. I hope you all didn't have any damage to your home.

My advice would be watch Todd White on youtube! He's an amazing man of God and he's helped me to look at life very differently...

Im actually a fan of Todd White myself, my favorite quote by him is Jesus takes what is broken and makes it beautiful. Its called grace! He is a legend of God in my eyes

You seem to have a pretty good handle on the situation, supporting a family is never easy but that doesn't mean you can't be happy.

Just have a plan and stick to it, when you plan ahead you get fewer surprises and of course prayer is a big help

Your'e already doing a great job being a father and a bread winner. That's already something to be proud of and it's normal to feel bad sometimes. We have our down moments. You are very lucky to have your wife with you to give you moral support. YOu're lucky you don't have a wife who only knows how to spend money and not save. It's nice to see you back here again.
