Early 30s. I want to start recurring investing weekly into a simple 2 ETFs portfolio that balances both Growth and Income. I am indecisive between 50:50 VGT/GPIQ or 50:50 SCHG/SCHD.

My logic for 50:50 VGT and GPIQ: I am aware that VGT is concentration on only tech, but I feel like tech is what generally drives the market anyways and the biggest S&P holdings are in tech. VGT has had an incredible performance over the past 10+ years compared to the S&P. Additionally, GPIQ gives consistent monthly income and still captures a big part of the nasdaq’s upside so not too much NAV erosion.

OR

My logic for 50:50 SCHG and SCHD: I am aware that SCHG is great for more sector diversification compared to VGT, however, it seems to have been underperforming VGT and VOO in a lot of the years, even this year. Additionally, SCHD is a great value stock holding and a consistently growing dividends for my income strategy however it’s significantly less than GPIQ in yield (9% vs 3%) but also in frequency since SCHD pays quarterly while GPIQ pays monthly.

I am having a dilemma in choosing between which 2 ETF combo to choose from and your guidance and opinions will be very valuable. My time horizon is 30+ years of investing and I want a strategy that focuses on both Growth and Income. I know income focused investing is not advices for younger investors but I am trying to have a backup income incase I lose my job or anything like that.

I am a 33 years old male in the healthcare field for the past 5 years. AlhamduLeAllah when I was single I worked hard on myself to create a comfortable life and through successful investments I was able to achieve a lot of my financial goals earlier than I thought. One of my goals was to be financially comfortable being married so I can provide a comfortable life for my wife and kids in the future inshallah - AlhamduLeAllah I was able to achieve that.

After reaching that goal 2 years ago, I decided to get married to a woman I met at an Islamic event who is Algerian. She comes from humble background and I was attracted to her values, how she carried herself with respect and her beauty as well - at least that’s how she marketed herself to me. She had part time jobs and she made minimal income - I don’t care about that but it’s important for the context of the story.

One of my requirements was a prenup, which would have applied to any woman I wanted to marry, it’s not about her at all - she agreed and signed the prenup under the condition that it provides her protection incase of a divorce and I did that.

Since we got married, my wife decided to be a stay at home wife by her own choice. I told her I am able to provide $2000 a month in allowance, in addition to me being the main/only provider (that included mortgage, car, insurance, groceries, gas, clothing and every necessity of life).

That’s where the red flags start. I will only mention a few of many many red flags for you to get an idea and tell me your advice/thoughts. Here we go:

1. She starts to tell me how $2000 a month is not enough and they are “okay” but she will be “patient” which insinuates I am not successful enough in her eyes - which I find so demeaning and constantly weighed my mental health down. Keep in mind I don’t make any demands at all while she is at home, I never ask her to cook, clean, do laundry or anything - me intention is to make her life a very peaceful and comfortable life which I think she has been taken for granted given how easy I made things.

2. If there is a month I don’t pay her the allowance due to reasons beyond my ability or just send part of it depending on my expenses for the month, she starts to withhold emotions and act cold with me.

3. She has what I think is an unusual obsession with material things and money because they are brought up in literally every single conversation. I understand that people can like nice things which is normal, but I find her to have an unusual obsession with those things which are evident by her addiction to watching social media posts about influencers who promote this type of lifestyle, she herself doesn’t post anything and doesn’t have followers/following but she consumes this content a lot.

4. She has multiple times tried to use intimacy/sex to leverage a material gain such as a bag or an expensive item. I found that to be highly disturbing given that it happened 4 times, I told her about it and she said that she was joking and I always take things out of context.

5. She constantly makes comments that reflect her view on men and relationships and that without money men can’t have love or intimacy with a woman because what does a woman get in return (whaaaat) lol.

6. Every holiday, birthday, and anniversary she expects lavish gifts. I am talking $10,000+ bags and things like that. I was able to do that a couple of times (unfortunately) but I find it takes away the barakah and given that I am super money conscious I find it haram and unnecessary to spend that much money just to make someone happy. Especially that she knows how I work day and night to provide this life and how stressed I feel constantly. Now I have an anxious association with any holiday because I know I have to prepare big bucks to make her happy, I would rather invest this money.

7. Lastly, MY TRIGGER FOR THE DIVORCE: her birthday was 2 months ago in April. She has been nagging me for so long that she wants this specific bag that’s $12,000. Last minute she also decided to visit her Algerian parents who live in France for 6 weeks and expects me to magically fund that. I gave her a total of $16,000 for both her birthday and trip - thinking that would make her insanely happy and get off my shoulders. To be honest, that really financially overwhelmed me but I was excited to feel the peace after she leaves. Lo and behold, 15 days later she asks me for her $2000 allowance…… I told her that I am overwhelmed lately juggling many responsibilities and I won’t able able to send her monthly allowance this month, especially that my mom is sick and I have been taking care of her financially as well plus the fact that I gave my wife more than enough money for both her birthday and trip. She showed complete disregard to my mental wellbeing or even my mother’s sickness and just said a chore statement like “ok I hope you and your mom get better” and started to completely withhold emotions and act cold with me. When I talked to her about all the insane comments she makes, she deflects and denies every single one of them or just says “she is joking”.

Thats when I went off and asked for divorce. To clear my consciousness in front of Allah, I consulted with an imam, a relationship coach, 3 therapists (1 male Muslim, 1 female Muslim, and 1 female non-Muslim) all of which consistently told me that I am with a scammer and I need to leave as soon as possible.

I always dreamed of being the best husband ever to my wife and future kids. I never thought in a million years that I would be a divorced man, not that there is anything is wrong with that but I tried so hard to make this work and I can’t continue to deny the financial abuse over the past couple of years - this will be financially destructive to me if I continue, especially given that my financial progress in life slowed down significantly since I got married.

I would love to hear your advice and your opinion. Do you agree this is financial abuse and that it’s fair for me to seek divorce or am I overthinking because I am in an emotional state? Am I a bad husband or is what I am doing not enough? You can see how the constant lack of gratefulness from her side is impacting myself image and mental health.

I bought 10,000 shares of BATL at $2 yesterday hoping to go to $3 due to Trump’s comments about Iran. Today it crashed after Trump reversed his comments. From a technical perspective the chart looks like it has good potential of reaching $3 in the future on the daily and weekly chart. However, fundamentally the stock is weak. I am now down on my position from $2 to $1.40.

I need advice on this. Do you suggest holding for a hope that oil will go up in the near future and this will go up again or just sell for a loss?

We are both in our early 30s and have been married for a few years. Although I understand that most people like nice things and especially women, which I think is totally okay, however, I noticed my wife has an abnormal attachment to material things. Imagine that every anniversary or birthday she assigns me a gift (yes Wallah) without asking my budget or anything. The issue here is that I try to balance making her happy without ruining my financial future. Her gifts are usually $10,000+ luxury bags and things of that sorts, additionally I give her a couple of grand a month for her monthly allowance while I provide and pay for everything else. She complains about that too and says that a couple of grand a month won’t help her grow in the future but she is being PATIENT lol. She is a nurse by the way who refuses to work and chose to be a stay at home wife, which I have no problem with but I didn’t ask her to do. Her tone constantly makes me feel like I am not enough and that no matter what I do “I am not rich enough”. I started to feel this issue has had an impact on my mental health and even with intimacy with her. I tried talking about it a lot before but no changes and I don’t think therapy is worth it considering she is not an accountable person. Her addiction to viewing (not posting) social media content and watching a hyper luxury life constantly is a huge problem in our marriage. Keep in mind that she comes from humble beginnings and doesn’t come from wealth or money at all, but is obsessed with influencers online who live that life. She assumes that the husband is supposed to buy his wife a luxury house on her own, a luxury car on her own, and she acts entitled to everything. She keeps saying how I am helping her grow even though I sponsored her green card which she desperately needed but when I mention that she acts like it means nothing. Even though we signed a prenup she sometimes cries about it, last time was 2 weeks ago where she said “I feel like you built a lot of financial security for yourself and I have nothing”. She wants to stay home all day scrolling TikTok and have money rain from the sky. Your input would be appreciated.

I have been married for a few years. In my early 30s and wife is the same. Whenever have sex the experience is amazing in the moment and she even compliments it a lot after. However, I feel like my wife has been actively coming up with excuses for us not to sleep with each other on the same bed. Over the last 2 weeks almost every day she complains of “stomach pain” then goes to the gym totally normal the next day and asks to sleep by herself so that she is comfortable and less shy, another day she said she is “Fasting for Arafah” and she prefers we sleep in separate beds so that we don’t get intimate and break her fast, another day she got her lip filler (hahaha) done and she was told no kissing or intimacy for 3 days to 2 weeks after so now we can’t sleep on the same bed so she doesn’t get an infection.

Generally speaking she comes off as an avoidant person and very surface level with anything related to intimacy. All she talks about is bags, shoes, expensive material things and money.

Idk if I should seek divorce or what. I feel severely sexually frustrating and have had thoughts of cheating multiple times that I never and would never act upon, but her coldness makes me desire the affection and love of another woman. Your input would be appreciated.

Is it normal for my wife to just leave to see her friends or run errands while I am sitting in the living room watching a game without saying a word about what she is doing or where is going? the reason I ask is that she never tells me before she leaves and she doesn’t tell me what she does with her friends or where she goes unless I ask. In my mind it would be normal to just say “hey I am going to the mall with my friends and should be back around 6pm, do you need anything?” Idk just common courtesy but she just walks out lol. When I talked to her about it she said it’s weird to just make an announcement and that she is not doing anything wrong. Am I overthinking or is this abnormal?

Been working in Tech for 8 years and saving and investing aggressively. I am married without kids. I am super tired of the corporate world and really want to quit and be financially independent. Any advice of how realistic that can be with this number?
