Quote from: Capt McQuigg

Just as important as finding work, and really, much more important, a young Catholic Man should find a Traditional Catholic wife.  A job is a job is a job and unless you are particularly skilled, you will probably have a series of ordinary jobs throughout your life.  However, a Traditional Catholic wife is a real gem and this is the most important thing a man should focus on.

Men do need to develop themselves and they must prepare themselves to be responsible for a wife and family.  

Hmm it seems from what I've looked at many Traditional Catholic women are very feminist in their views i.e. liberal and Marxist. But everyone can just go ahead and call me another Tele on the forum. :wink:

I keep up hope that somewhere there's one girl out there who fully holds on to some semblance of traditional views and I don't have to go to Saudi Arabia (that would be distasteful to me anyway) to find her.

You do have to be careful not to get entangled with the wrong woman.  

Tele had really bad luck when it came to women...   :wink:

I completely agree with you, Trad Guy, that as Catholics we therefore must be anti-Marxist, but that doesn't mean that's about all we talk about.  It's good that they're anti-Obama at least, so there's a starting point.  Anything else you can agree on?  How about talk of care of the car for your grandfather,  flowers or something that your grandmother likes?  There must be something pleasant that binds you.  Start thinking.  Just for a day.

Trad Guy, when you finally meet a woman that you like, will you be the man for her?  In other words- will she be attracted to you for your qualities?   Marriage isn't built on anti-Marxism alone.  There's a whole lot of other things to consider.

XD

Of course there are other things to consider! My only point was that she must agree with me politically (or at least consider herself on the Right) otherwise the household would be a yelling match in front of her and the children. And as I mentioned before I plan on having a large family, working two jobs to provide. I just am skeptical if working two jobs will even be enough to live on.

The key is to work SMARTER not harder.
Do you work two jobs now in preparation?  If you can't handle two jobs now how will you with a houseful of children besides?  

I think you mean being smart on managing your money. Well I spend money on the basic necessities like food, clothing, having a roof over your head, etc. though I admit I spend a little more on the former than everyone else since I am a protectionist and only like to shop at small businesses.

Trad Guy, yes on managing your money but I mostly meant working smarter.  Also are you currently working two jobs in preparation?  You need money in the bank in order to marry unless you intend to marry into riches which seems highly unlikely.   $100 will only go so far no matter how frugal you are.  Money only stretches so far.  You're going to need $200 when you take a wife & then more when the children come.  Get my drift?

You've already saved $100, or you save $100 out of every paycheck?  It's not clear.

You TRY?  That needs to be a given - no ifs, ands or buts!!!

Since you keep skirting my question about a second job, I'm going to assume that you do NOT have one.
I must go now & get busy. Enough time here.  Remember -  just for today you need to find some pleasant thing to talk to your grandparents about.  Are they still there or have they moved already?
